DEVEREUX CELEBRATES RE-DESIGNED CAMPUS AREA WITH RIBBON CUTTING AND RECEPTION — June 11
GOLETA, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 11, 2009 – CONTACT: Janis Johnson (805) 968-2525, X202
– Approximately 60 people attended a Ribbon Cutting and Wine & Cheese Reception on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, hosted by Devereux California on its newly re-designed campus.
The Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce is compiling and publishing a list of available emergency rental housing for victims of the fire. The list will be published on the Chamber website, sbchamber.org, beginning Monday May 11, 2009. The Chamber will have hard copies of the list available in our offices at 924 Anacapa Street or will fax or email copies to fire victims.
Representatives from government, chambers of commerce, UCSB, Goleta Valley Beautiful and Devereux’s national board joined Devereux California clients and family members in the celebration.
Executive Administrator, Amy Evans, said to the guests: “Most of you know that we have been through significant changes over the past several years, with the closing of the Children’s programs in 2006 and the sale of the 33-acre Devereux property to UCSB in the fall of 2007. This is where I’d like to enlist your support. It’s not uncommon when I tell people where I work, they say, ‘I thought you had closed the place when you sold the land.’ We are really trying to get the word out that Devereux is still here. So when you hear someone ask about Devereux, do let them know that we are still here. You all can be ambassadors for us!”
On the four-plus acres that Devereux has leased back from UCSB on a long-term basis, they currently operate residential, day treatment and respite programs and the Greenhouse.
Thank you for your help.
