Lemonade out of Lemons

Have you ever been presented with terrible news only to be followed by events that not only changed the situation but it turned into the best possible outcome? We were notified that an office we clean in Port Angeles was changing janitorial companies. This is a national firm and apparently a directive came that discontinued our service. We were devastated as clients had worked there for 15 years and for some this was their only job. We were frantic and in the process of planning on working through the problem. The company that took over the contract (apparently they were awarded the janitorial service contract for multiple cities in Washington) contacted us and as a result hired all our clients. Of course this is the ultimate outcome we wish for all our clients to work directly for a company - we are thrilled. 

Great Thurston Chamber Forum

Wow what a positive response to the forum on Wednesday March 10th about hiring people with disabilities. John Evans did an outstanding job and the audience response to Morningside clients and employers was heartfelt.
