All month long, we’ve been exploring, connecting, and engaging with you through meaningful personal stories. This week, let’s LEARN together as we share Jane’s story. 💙
If there’s anyone who can attest to the impact and fun that comes out of Hattie Larlham’s Franklin County Recreation program, it’s Jane and her sister, Lisa. Jane has been a member of Franklin County Recreation (FCR) for over thirty years and she’s still learning new things, embracing new experiences, and building lasting friendships. Lisa is Jane’s legal guardian and has been with her over the years, helping her to gain her independence and thrive as an adult.
“I just think that Jane’s been fortunate to be able to be involved in the community and in the programs that she has. And I think Hattie is a good example of an organization that recognizes the need for individuals to have experiences and exposure to different activities as well as the opportunity to participate in those.” After more than three decades of watching her sister thrive with FCR, Lisa explained why the program is so important.
