MDC Goldenrod believes that because all persons are created in God’s image, every human life has equal value. Acting on this, MDC Goldenrod, as a ministry of Anabaptist and other participating congregations, recognizes the gifts of individuals with disabilities. MDC Goldenrod seeks to do this in ways that promote development of individuals, strengthen the family, and encourage continued congregational involvement.

The MDC Goldenrod's 11th Annual Benefit Auction was a success and we have so many people to thank for this.  

• There is the tremendous committee who worked for many months to make it all happen
• All of the individuals, churches and businesses who donated items and money
• Everyone who came to volunteer, eat, purchase items and bid in the auctions

The ministry of MDC Goldenrod is so much more than staff and clients.  It takes all of you to help make it happen, and you did just that.  Thank you.

MDC Goldenrod was awarded a grant for $835.00 from the Junior League of South Bend.  The money will be used to purchase specialized cookbooks and supplies for a cooking school for clients of MDC Goldenrod.  We are very greatful to the Junior League for this grant.

MDC Goldenrod's Annual Dinner was hosted by Fairhaven Amish Mennonite Church.  It was an evening of good food, good fun and lots of laughs.  David interviewed two individuals from the MDC Goldenrod community.  They were very enthusiastic about their experiences and very eager to share all that they do.  One of the highlights for the MDC Goldenrod clients was the annual camping trip to Amigo Centre.  Bill and LIsa shared much about the highlights of that trip, one of which was dousing David, the Executive Director, with water guns.  

Kroger and Arby's were honored with plaques for their many years of employing individuals with special needs.

It was a great evening and we are most greatful to Fairhaven for hosting the meal. 

We also want to thank Dottie for taking pictures.  Click here to see them.
