This month something big happened. Joelle Dolechek graduated from college with her Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services: Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities.

She was right, she was the light of 4th Avenue. She was bright, cheerful, kind, loving, caring, and warm. She was the “mother hen” of the house and she took that role seriously by always looking out for others. She was a friend to many and loved by everyone that had the privilege of knowing her. We will miss her companionship, her smile, her famous baked goodies, and most importantly, her light.

It's time to head to the ballpark! June 17th at noon the Badlands Big Sticks will be playing an exhibition game with our unified softball teams. The Big Stick players will help support people with disabilities as they play, assisted by staff and friends that play on the unified softball league teams.
