"June 2012 brings us to the 13th anniversary of Tuscaloosa's One Place: A Family Resource Center. People think of the month of June as the traditional month for weddings. To me, a wedding signals the formal beginning of a long-term commitment meant to nurture human beings as they grow and develop. Weddings provide a public forum whereby people promise to take care of each other. Not only are children nurtured in the relationship, but the partners of a marriage nurture each other. As such, June seems like the most appropriate month to celebrate another year of TOP's successes! Like a good marriage, TOP exists to nurture families, children and their caregivers."
- Dr. Debra Nelson-Gardell, Board of Directors President
Thirteen years ago this month Tuscaloosa's One Place opened it's doors to begin serving this community. Since this time we have grown leaps and bounds! "Obviously with time has come lots of changes, but what has not changed is our mission: to strengthen families and the community"-Teresa Costanzo.
Tuscaloosa's One Place would like to send out a special thank you to all who have contributed, we could not have accomplished all of our wonderful achievements without your help.
"Small acts transform the world" - Howard Zinn
"Our positive work at TOP would not be possible without the help of thousands of dedicated volunteers who give of themselves each week. We are also fortunate to have a host of community partners that help provide a seamless array of services designed to meet families' needs. Obviously our community, state and nation face many challenges in the days ahead but by working together we can ensure that children's needs are being met and that we are helping prepare them to become our leaders of tomorrow. TOP remains committed to providing quality services in our area and to continue to reach out to families who need support and encouragement. On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors, we say THANKS for allowing us the opportunity to serve as
Together We ARE Making a Difference!
