Highlighting IOD Donors
Support for Families in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley Region
The Mascoma Savings Bank Foundation awarded a $2,000 grant to support the participation of individuals with disabilities and family members from the Upper Valley area in the 2008-2009 New Hampshire Leadership Series at the IOD. Thanks to this support, a mother and daughter from Sunapee took part in the Series, gaining new skills and inspiration to make college and an independent life attainable.
This is the second Mascoma Savings Bank Foundation grant for the Leadership Series. A $2,000 gift was awarded in December 2006.

A Gala to Support the New Hampshire Leadership Series
Participants past and present joined in the annual New Hampshire Leadership Series reunion held April 17, 2009, at Ashworth by the Sea in Hampton, New Hampshire. More than 100 program alumni and friends gathered for an evening of fun that included dinner, a silent auction, celebration of the newest program graduates, and guest speaker Norman Kunc, national disability rights advocate.
