The Adult Skills Center (TASC)

North Los Angeles County Regional Center is seeking your feedback and assistance in completing a short survey so they can better understand your experiences serving adult clients across their lifespan. This survey is for our community to complete, including, clients, caregivers, conservators, service providers, or community partners. Please take the survey by January 29, 2021.

As we meet this last day of the year, we look back at the challenges we have faced, the loss we have experienced, and the storm we have weathered. Although we've been physically distant, we were brought closer together than ever before. We have witnessed just how far our TASC family will go to support each other so that we never fail. We were brought together as a family, not by blood but by heart and soul. We thank you all for the love, support, generosity, and compassion ...during this year and for the past 33 years of TASC's existence. We can't wait until the day we can all be together again safely. In the meantime, enjoy your New Year's celebrations. Stay safe and well. We'll see you in 2021! Sincerely, All Of Us At TASC

We'd like our last message of the year to end on a positive note. Thanks to you and the rest of our TASC family of supporters, we have exceeded our Thank YU Campaign goal by raising a total of $21,488! We couldn’t have done it without your help, or the help of many other supporters who made this possible. This is an incredible amount that will truly help our clients and programs. We thank you all for the love, support, generosity, and compassion during this year and for the... past 33 years of TASC's existence. We can't wait until the day we can all be together again safely. https://bit.ly/32ggICd See more

In addition to closing out the year of 2020 - we also send celebratory wishes for Ken and Donna Lane on their next chapter of retirement together! We couldn't let today pass without giving them one more small gift. That gift is a recap video of the retirement celebrations that have led up to this very day. The video is a golden 45 minutes of special memories. Enjoy on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/jx9gwBtT44Y... We love you Ken and Donna! Thank you for creating this remarkable organization that helps the lives of so many. However, this isn't goodbye - this is a "see you later" because we know you will continue to be involved, even in retirement! Congratulations!
