CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the matter of recognizing RESOLUTION NO. 88/666
the contribution of the
.George Miller Centers and.
their 20th Anniversary Cele-
bration on November 2nd, 1988
Individuals with a developmental disability are struggling in
our society today to have access to community resources., to
receive adequate services, to increase independence and self
reliance, and to be accepted as contributing members of
society.
The Contra Costa County, George Miller Centers have for 20
years been a leader in the community in providing educational,
therapeutic and supportive services to disabled Contra Costa
County residents. These programs have had a profound effect on
the lives of over 1000 individuals since 1968, enabling
individuals to achieve far more than ever anticipated.
The George Miller Centers began as model programs and today are
still considered to be valuable programs that provide a
critical service to a very specialized population, the severely
and profoundly disabled. At a time when services were lacking
for the disabled, Contra Costa County took the lead to develop
these Centers to meet the needs of this population.
Above all, the George Miller Programs have been the source of
hope, inspiration and support to families during difficult
times. The George Miller Centers are more than buildings and
services, they are an extension of the families that provide
love and trust, direction and guidance, and advocate for
acceptance by all.
The George Miller Centers have for 20 years been a leader in
the field of the developmentally disabled. Upon reaching this
milestone they look forward to what they will achieve in the
next 20 years.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors,
County of Contra Costa, California sets aside November 2, 1988
to acknowledge the 20th niversary of the George Miller
Centers as recognitio eir achievements and commitment to
the developmentally d population of Contra Costa County.
