  • Annualreport 2 0
    ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013 www.becomingindependent.org Dear Friends and Supporters, Fiscal Year 2012– 2013 was a year of reorganization and re-direction for Becoming Independent as we set in motion a number of initiatives to improve and enhance our services. Foremost among these were changes to our Day Program in Santa Rosa, which serves close to 250 participants. In the fall of 2012 our Board of Directors agreed to a plan designed to better meet the interests of each individual participant. After completing exploratory interviews with participants and staff, three core program components were identified: Employment, Personal Enrichment and Specialized Services. Employment provides meaningful paid employment in two settings. Participants who desire to earn a paycheck can choose between on-site work in Production Services or community-based employment through our Vocational Enrichment Center. Some people are happy to utilize their existing skill set on site, while others seek skill-building instruction that will enable them to eventually secure community-based employment. Personal Enrichment is dedicated to developing skills to improve daily quality of life for participants. Life Skills focuses on maintaining and developing fundamental social and communications skills while also offering opportunities for meaningful community access. Leisure Activities puts a focus on recreational activities both on- site and in the community that appeal to our participants 55 and older, or those who prefer a more relaxed day. Specialized Services is home to three dynamic programs. Artists whose work is widely shown and collected continue to create art for our agency’s ArtWorks Program. Please see page 4 to learn about the enormous strides being made by Community Integrated Services.

It was in this humble 12x18-foot building that college friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard first pursued the dream of a company of their own. Guided by an unwavering desire to develop innovative and useful products, the two men went on to blaze a trail at the forefront of the electronics revolution.

The exact construction date of the garage is unknown, but while there is no evidence of its presence on insurance maps dated 1908, by 1924 it is clearly denoted on updated documents as a private garage. In 1938, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard decided to “make a run for it” in business. Dave left his job at General Electric in Schenectady, New York, and returned to Palo Alto while Bill scouted rentals. The garage was dedicated as the Birthplace of Silicon Valley in 1989, and HP acquired the He found one perfect for their needs on Addison property in 2000. HP is proud to have worked Avenue.
