Morningside’s mission is to advancethe employment and self-sufficiencyof people with disabilities.

1Morningside 2015 Annual Report

Morningside measures success in many ways. Profitability is important but meeting goals and succeeding in our mission to find individuals with disabilities jobs - good paying jobs which add dignity and self-worth to an individual’s life - is the ultimate success. By that measure 2015 was very successful as we once again placed a record number of individuals in jobs!

We also had a very positive fiscal year at Morningside. Revenue was up over $350,000 to $4.6 million dollars and we secured record profits. Our balance sheet reveals a very fiscally sound company with excellent liquidity.

In 2015 we achieved an unbelievable agency-wide record of 193 placements – a phenomenal accomplishment! Our success can be directly attributed to a staff who perform beyond all expectations with a laser focus on the mission to support individuals with disabilities find and keep a job. These professional, dedicated individuals provide exceptional quality services to clients. This quality customer approach leads to our staff achieving outcomes in all programs which are nothing short of amazing. We also had 5 additional staff take and pass the national Certified Employment Support Professional test to receive their professional certification. It brings to 8 the total number of Morningside staff who have passed this rigorous examination.

Morningside continues to maintain its reputation for being on the cutting edge by making another significant paradigm shift during the year – ending the Group Supported Employment (GSE) Program. GSE historically paid a sub-minimum wage to clients working on Morningside generated contracts. We ended this program because we believe individuals with disabilities can, and should, earn at least the state minimum wage.

The business community, a significant stakeholder in the success of our mission, has been very open and welcoming to hiring individuals with significant disabilities. We are so thankful for this important partnership.

Once again we obtained the highest accreditation available from CARF (international rehabilitation accreditation agency). We are proud of the compliments paid to management and staff for the quality of our services by the CARF surveyors. We also launched a new web page design in June. The responsive design works with various tablets and mobile devices which increases access to our clients and community.

Looking forward to 2016, our goals include securing even more placements with higher wages and more hours worked per week. We will also continue to focus on securing jobs for individuals with more significant disabilities and providing exemplary service to clients!

Heather Harper works in the center of the action as an Office Assistant 1 in the Governor’s Office located in the Capitol Building!

Heather is assigned to Constituent Services which processes incoming mail addressed to Governor Inslee not only from state residents and departments but from around the world. As an Office Assistant 1 Heather is responsible for sorting large piles of new mail daily. Using an organizing device with the names of dozens of workers in the Capitol to ensure the mail gets to the right person, Heather accurately sorts the mail for delivery. She then uses a computer to file the letters by name to make sure they get delivered appropriately. Heather did not have any previous opportunities to learn complex computer work but she was eager to learn. Her managers made sure her eagerness was rewarded with additional skill building! Heather is a very conscientious worker putting forth maximum effort every day. She likes going to work and is part of a supportive group of coworkers and managers.

Heather is a busy young woman outside of the office too. She enjoys taking classes at South Puget Sound Community College and going out to lunch with friends. A swimmer, Heather has medaled in several events in Special Olympics. She is a member of People First of Washington, a self-advocacy group which works for the empowerment of people with disabilities. Heather owns a horse, Firefly, which she loves to ride. She also has an Australian Shepard, Cody, who insists they spend a great deal of time together.

Congratulations Heather for being a role model to all by working hard and making your dreams come true!

Building dreams.


Susanna Krauss is a 2015 Tenino High School grad who benefited from Morningside’s School-to-Work Program (S2W). School-to-Work is a program that partners with Thurston County Developmental Disabilities, local school districts, and Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to support students gain work skills and employment that are transitioning from High School to their desired career field. Like many young adults transitioning out of high school and into the next chapter of their life, it can be a stressful time. Susanna’s day to day life changed dramatically with the help of the S2W program. Over the course of a few months Susanna transitioned from taking a bus from her family home to school, to riding a co-worker vanpool to work every night to work her shift, to leading an independent life! She now works 35 hours per week making a competitive wage as a custodian cleaning Madigan Army Medical Center on Joint Base Lewis McChord.

During her last year of high school, Susanna received support from her team at every step. Susanna’s support team included teachers, family, case manager, employer, co-workers, School-to-Work county liaison, benefits counselor, and Bobbie Jo Sweet, Morningside Employment Consultant. Susanna participated in an internship at Providence St. Peter Hospital and was offered an on-call position after her internship concluded. Susanna turned down this opportunity in hopes of finding more stable employment. The gamble paid off. She was able to use the internship as a resume boosting experience that helped land her a job at another medical facility, Madigan Army Medical Center, for more hours and more pay. After Morningside supported her with her first interview, she was offered the position the same day and accepted!

Morningside provided Susanna with necessary problem-solving support needed to start her new job. Her team helped with a required security clearance, transportation planning, completing hiring paperwork, job training, accommodation negotiation, benefits clarification and guidance, and even advocacy to keep her employed through some missteps. In Susanna’s journey, as with all beginning a new path, there were some stumbles. Without these stumbles Susanna would not have had opportunity to prove herself and grow professionally. As a result, Susanna has a job she loves with increasing tasks and responsibilities. After 10 months of solid, dependable employment Susanna has been offered full time work, given the responsibility to train new employees, and has moved to be closer to her job site. Susanna has become an independent and successful member of the workforce!

High School Transition Story: Susanna Krauss Her Vision, her Future

In 2015 the High School Transition program with a staff of 2, provided a variety of services designed to assist students in their last year of school.

Pathway to a full life.


Few programs have it all, but Project SEARCH aims to do just that! Licensed through Project SEARCH Cincinnati, this local model was created in 2009 and operates at The Evergreen State College. Its purpose is to help students with disabilities achieve successful employment. Because the needs of students range so drastically, the program includes assistance from the Olympia School District, state partners and a Morningside Transition Coordinator embedded at TESC to advocate for services necessary to remove barriers to employment.

Project SEARCH gives students with significant disabilities the opportunity all young adults should have, access to college in order to advance their individual career goals. The difference is these students participate in career internships that facilitate on the job vocational training in lieu of college classes. Students complete internships around the campus, working four-hour days. When they are not working they are touring with local business owners, meeting past Project SEARCH alumni who work in the community, and learning the ins and outs of getting and maintaining employment.

The path to personal achievement is different for everyone. A current Project SEARCH student, Cerena Ragsac, was born prematurely resulting in various challenges. Cerena has a different timeline and process for learning and has benefited from many specialized programs. But the most intensive program came after she walked off the stage at Capital High and joined an Olympia School District transition program. In the transition program she learned to navigate her community using bus schedules, volunteer, access a local gym, and perform basic cooking and household duties.

Employment and independence are Cerena’s ultimate goals. As a Project SEARCH student, Cerena meets with her teacher and Morningside Employment Consultant regularly at TESC before donning her work uniform for an internship at Einstein Bagels. At work Cerena makes coffee and bagels, stocks food items, and performs light cleaning duties. “When I first started I was a bit nervous and I didn’t know if I was going to do the job right. I wouldn’t know if my co-workers would like me.”

Cerena ended this internship in December, however, she was missed. The manager asked her to interview for a paid position and was impressed when this time Cerena showed up prepared with questions. Cerena got the job offer and is now working with Project SEARCH staff to get through the hiring process. “I learned how to talk to people more and get out of my comfort zone.” She will work part-time for Einstein Bagels and her next Project SEARCH internship will have shortened hours to accommodate her work schedule. What to do with a first paycheck? Cerena says she is going to use it to take her parents out to eat!

Cerena leaves 2015 behind having achieved a greater sense of independence and begins 2016 making new goals. She is working on obtaining a driver’s license. Having passed the written test Cerena is now learning to parallel park! Another goal accomplished!

Spend a moment with Walter and you just may be too exhausted to go any further. He has more energy than most people half his age with enough stories to entertain you for hours. Although his hobbies are numerous, Walter realizes how important a strong work ethic is to being self-sufficient. His balance between personal and professional life is somewhat blurred as he enjoys both with equal enthusiasm.

Currently, Walter has two part time jobs and one on-call position yet he still desires to work more. Not only does he appreciate the money he earns but also being a part of his community. Walter works as a janitor at a coffee shop, the Elks Lodge, and most recently, a veterinary clinic. Walter is very valued at all three businesses and echoes their sentiment with the hope to stay at each for a long time. One reason Walter is so appreciated as an employee is his eagerness to work by asking for more jobs and more hours. Morningside provided him with janitorial training many years ago and Walter says the skills he learned in the program have given him the ability to find work for the rest of his life.

Like many, Walter enjoys playing video games, watching television shows and movies as well as occasionally going to the theater with a friend. He loves to socialize with whoever is willing to give him a few minutes of their time and prefers to share activities with others. You can find Walter at local restaurants, shopping for video games at secondhand shops, or maybe at a friend’s house sharing the bargains he has found. Walter eagerly awaits his annual camping trip with friends. During this excursion he goes fishing, hikes and helps cook meals at night. And in any season Walter is also a sports fan also ready to attend live events such as football, baseball and concerts.

One thing that you can learn from Walter is that no matter where you work or the career you choose, there is always something to love and appreciate about those around you. Good advice for everyone!


Loving work, loving life.


Even though Juan came a few weeks late to the School to Work Program in Pierce County his school job coaches, teachers and family talked about how eager this young man was to work. Juan’s father was also very supportive. “I know my son wants to work a good job. I just want him to be a hardworking man and I KNOW he can do that.” Juan didn’t say much at all but nodded his head. Juan is quiet to say the least.

One of the amazing things Juan quickly demonstrated is that once he sets a goal he is determined to achieve it. When Juan first started working with his Morningside Pierce County School-to-Work Team he didn’t use his smart phone for anything other than an occasional phone call. With his team it was identified as a powerful tool that could help him become more independent. With some support Juan was soon using his phone for managing his life! He learned how to set appointments in his calendar, use the reminder feature to keep appointments, use an app that identifies when and where the next bus will be, send text messages using voice to text, and responding to texts sent to him. Juan truly showed he was ready to be more independent!

The one thing that Juan repeatedly and distinctly communicated was that he was interested in working in a restaurant. While in the Transition Program at school Juan had the opportunity to work in a local diner and absolutely loved the experience. When his the supervisor at the diner where Juan worked was asked for a recommendation he reported Juan was a quiet, hardworking, and determined young man. Then came Juan’s first interview at Little Caesars in Spanaway. To say he was nervous would be an understatement! In preparation Morningside staff met repeatedly with Juan to practice interviewing. Some questions and answers were even recorded on his cell phone so he could listen to them in the evening before the interview.

As the interview came to an end, the hiring manager looked at Juan and said, “Do you think you could do this job, because I would like to hire you!” Juan smiled and replied “yes!” The job offer itself resulted in an increase in Juan’s self-confidence. By his first day of employment Juan was ready and eager to begin working. Working about 16 hours per week, Juan is an extremely valued employee at Little Caesars. And he’s learning to do it all including portioning pizza, making supplies, preparing dough, and even making pizza sauce from scratch. Juan’s supervisor says “He fits in perfectly.” Juan’s co-workers are amazing and said “Here at Little Caesars we like to consider ourselves family and Juan is definitely part of that family!” Congratulations to Juan for his hard work and Little Caesars for a making a great hire!

When a popular coffee shop in Sequim closed its doors Violet was heartbroken. She loved her job there and was attached to all the regular customers she had worked with for eight years. She wanted to work again but was not sure what to do. She tried several other jobs, including janitorial, and then came to Morningside to seek new employment options.

Violet has been with Morningside’s Clallam County office for 3 years. After a careful job search, she found her ideal position at Safeway in Port Angeles. Her job coach assisted Violet with the training process when she became fully employed as a Courtesy Clerk in 2013. She performs each of her duties 4 days per week with a smile and a cheerful word! Violet bags groceries, escorts customers to their vehicles and unloads their carts, returns electric carts to their spaces, and tidies up the baskets at the front end. Each patron is greeted with enthusiasm and an offer for extra assistance. In addition to learning her job tasks Violet has successfully grown by learning how to deal with workplace stress and the occasional difficult customer. Violet takes her job seriously and has great pride in completing her tasks to Safeway’s high standards. She has received several five star reviews and comments on Safeway’s national survey, definitely a source of pride for the local store! Once a corporate vice president doing a store audit was so taken with Violet after observing her that she told the store manager, “I have never seen an employee who loved their job so much!”

This joie de vivre extends to Violet’s outside activities as well. She rides and grooms her horse weekly at Freedom Farm, participates in the Special Olympics, loves to shop and go out to dinner, and takes mosaic classes when her schedule allows. She was also volunteered for many years at the Museum and Art Center especially enjoying promoting the exhibits of her native heritage. Violet’s schedule of work, activities, friends, and family combine to create a full life that gives her a sense of direction and purpose. Her outgoing nature and cheerful attitude touch each patron and coworker in Safeway—she creates smiles amongst strangers!

Emerson was born in the Philippines where at just a year old he contracted a virus that led to a disability. But that never stopped him from being industrious because work was such an important value to both Emerson and his family. Since he was not hired by employers he created a variety of jobs for himself. At the age of 15 he drove a motorized tricycle with a sidecar to transport passengers. Later he became a welder of window grills, safety doors, fences, gates and railings and operated a small canteen where he sold eggs, fish and chicken. He fried chickens and sold them in a market. With his uncle he drove a truck to transport rice. Emerson always worked hard! He also began a family and started raising his 4 children.

In 2012 Emerson’s parents moved to the United States, with Emerson and his children joining them the next year. While living in Des Moines, WA Emerson connected with DVR. In 2015, when he moved to Rochester to be closer to his parents, Emerson began working with Morningside’s Lewis County Office. Working with Morningside and DVR meant Emerson would not need to create his own job as he had to in his native country. Working with his Employment Consultant, Emerson identified his many strengths and capabilities learned from all his previous jobs. It was clear Emerson liked to drive. There were, of course, challenges that come with working in a different country and a different language. But Emerson wanted to be a chauffeur which meant he must complete the training and pass the physical exam to obtain the license. He rose above all the challenges that were outside his comfort zone and completed all the requirements.

As a result of his hard work he had not only found a home in his new country, but is a well-respected driver for Capital Towncar Services of Rochester, WA. Nadine and Marshall, owners of Capital Towncar Services, have had many drivers but they say he is the best! Customers get great service and Emerson loves working for Nadine and Marshall.

Emerson’s tenacity will continue to serve him well in his life, his work, and in supporting the family that is so important to him. And while it’s a busy life with children from 8 to 15, Emerson still finds time for a little fishing!

Carlin lives independently in her own home and drives her own car. Her goal is to become self-sufficient and support herself on the salary she earns. She has been trying to achieve this goal for several years, but finding just the right job match proved elusive due to the level of accessibility that she needs. She spent over five years volunteering at the local hospital as a receptionist and greeter, answering difficult questions and assisting patients checking in for outpatient procedures. A paid position never opened up. At the same time, she worked as a substitute paraprofessional in multiple elementary schools, but the income was not enough to meet her goal of financial independence.

DVR contracted with Morningside to conduct a Community Based Assessment (CBA) with Carlin at Keystone Learning Center. Upon the successful completion of the CBA in November 2015, Carlin was immediately hired by the Center! Carlin’s official title is a Teacher’s Aide/Administrative Assistant but she actually wears many hats. She is a teacher’s aide in the preschool program and teacher in the youth/after school program in addition to assisting in all aspects of the office. Carlin’s office duties include daunting stacks of curriculum materials that have to be sorted and filed. This project led to Carlin’s need for an accommodation to improve her ability to manage multiple documents and be more efficient from her wheel chair. Morningside helped Carlin request a cart that she could easily move from place to place as needed. Morningside also assisted Carlin with training requirements for her job, such as First Aid & CPR, Blood Borne Pathogens, Food Handlers Card, and STARS Child Care Basics.

In 2008, Carlin began her own photography business, and still supplements her new job with photography assignments. One customer, a vacation bible school, has been with her more than seven years. This particular assignment also blends well with Carlin’s passion to work with children. In the near future Carlin is taking advantage of training opportunities that will allow her to establish and grow in her career. Her smile and laugh inspires comfort and confidence in co-workers and the young students she teaches. She is thoughtful and deliberate in her actions which will serve her well in her future in all aspects of her full life.

Development Report 2015 Developing Community Support for a Sustainable Future

Morningside’s commitment to finding our clients meaningful work resonates throughout our messaging and outreach efforts in the community. When we share our mission and stories of success through our print and online newsletters, outside news organizations, and involvement in local service clubs and chambers of commerce, we are saying that everybody deserves meaningful employment as a means to greater self-sufficiency and dignity, and employees with disabilities can and do contribute enormously to their places of employment as well as the community at large. In 2015 we added a powerful new platform for our message with the launching of a redesigned website at www.morningsideservices.com. Whether you’re an individual with a disability, an employer, a

stakeholder or donor, our new website provides an important link to what we do and is an excellent way to find out more about the organization.

In 2015 our primary fundraising focus was our High School Transition Program, including Job Club, Project SEARCH, and our school-to-work efforts with area school districts. High school transition programs are critical to the success of young people with disabilities; and landing that first job can positively affect their employment trajectory for their lifetime.

For the second year in a row, proceeds from our signature fundraiser, the Morningside Ride Road Challenge, were dedicated to the transition program. The western-themed event was held on Saturday, September 19 and participants channeled their inner cowboy and showed up in some pretty amazing western wear. Thank you to presenting sponsors, The Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel and 94.5 ROXY. After a tricky route that sent teams in a new direction, the event concluded at The

Lucky Eagle for Texas-style BBQ and a heartfelt presentation by transition student, Nate Elder, and transition coordinator, Bobbie Jo Sweet. The Morningside Ride grossed $42,065.

Morningside also participated in our second #Giving Tuesday, the national day of fundraising following Thanksgiving weekend. Our 2015-2016 VISTA development associate, Whitney Williams, did a great job coordinating the fundraising campaign and $1,320 was raised for the High School Transition Program. Overall support revenue raised via grants, The Morningside Ride, and donations in 2015 totaled $80,821. We also received $10,920 in in-kind gifts.


Thank you for your Support in 2015Thank you to our 2015 supporters, whose generosity and partnership is instrumental in paving the way to a more equitable andjustsocietyforpeoplewithdisabilities.

2015 ANN BOLENDER

Very Honored Client Award

Ben Sittler is a pretty amazing guy. He is a Seahawk and Mariner enthusiast, handy with power tools, and has a one of a kind sense of humor. Ben is the guy that wears singing hats for the holidays and just loves the snow. He enjoys going to the movies, hanging out with friends and takes occasional trips to Oregon on the train. Ben also has a great job.

Ben was introduced to Morningside through our High School Transition program in 1994. Ben has Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy a condition that among other things limits bone development. But Ben’s disability has never characterized who he is or what he has accomplished in his lifetime. He has been employed by the state since November of 1999. Ben has been part of several organizational changes, moved buildings, moved floors several times and experienced numerous staff

changes in the past 15 years. Throughout it all, Ben has maintained a 40 hour work week and has a learned a variety of essential daily

tasks. Ben currently works for the Heath Care Authority in downtown Olympia. Ben loves his job. Ben is loved at his job. Ben is that person everyone looks forward to seeing each day, he just makes you smile.

Ben has overcome many significant changes and challenges. Three years ago a diagnosis of paraplegia changed his life. He has had

to relearn how to do most of his daily tasks as he is no longer able to walk on his own. Ben has mastered the use of his wheelchair, walker and his scooter both at home and at work, all the while maintaining that stellar sense of humor. Ben has been awarded Morningside’s Ann Bolender Award for his ability to persevere through challenging hardships while maintaining his endearing and genuine upbeat personality. This award recognizes a client for his determination and achievement. Ann Bolender

was a very determined person who came to work and did her best in spite of tremendous obstacles. She inspired everyone around her with her can-do attitude despite physical pain and discomfort. It is in that spirit of determination and achievement that we select and honor a client who exemplifies Ann’s traits.
