Dear Friends and Colleagues; This last week many of our friends and customers have been impacted by the fires in Napa and Sonoma County. Even though the fires are still burning we'd like to begin to help those who have been directly affected by the fires. Sterling Adaptives has their home and offices in Santa Rosa and is spearheading a fundraising effort to help people with disabilities in the community. They have reached out to their friends and associates for donations o...f retail gift cards from companies like Target, CVS, Walmart and Costco and are offering to match any contributions up to $1000. We at Adaptive Technology Services will also be matching those contributions up to $1000. This means that for each 10.00 in gift cards received, $30.00 will go toward services for those affected. Sterling Adaptives will be working directly with the Earle Baum Center and other similar agencies to identify individuals with disabilities who are in most need of this type of short term support. Thank you very much for any help you can give. Please mail your gift cards to: Sterling Adaptives 62A Brookwood Avenue Santa Rosa, CA 95404.

All is ready for our annual Christmas Party! As many of you know, each year we suggest a cause for those of our who wish to give. This year we are highlighting a remarkable filmmaker, Michael Schwartz , and his latest film: The Palette Project: Losing Sight, Maintaining A Vision, a documentary and web series exploring the world through and beyond, the rich vibrancy of color, one color at a time. ... Donating at the party is one way to support this work, but you can also become a backer of his Patreon page $1. Visit http://trailheadproductions.com/palette/support/ Thank you and Happy Holidays!
