This Months Living the Mission Award Winner

This month Maryhaven honored Rich Cowie with the Mission Award. Rich is an important part of our support services department. He can be seen all over Maryhaven dropping stuff off and fixing things. He has built strong ties with our individuals, and they love seeing him at their day programs and at their homes. Rich lights up when he talks about his interactions throughout his day. With his peers he is looked up to and referred to as the unofficial shop manager. Rich is a great example of the Maryhaven mission. Congratulations Rich!
