Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND. – May 19, 2010 – Indiana pork production took center stage on Wednesday, May 19, at the Montgomery County Economic Development organization. Dr. Monty Moss of Moss Farms in Burnettsville, Ind. addressed the group during their Breakfast Series program in Crawfordsville.

Titled “The Pork Industry:  More Than Just the Other White Meat,” the speech by Mosss showcased the industry’s rural economic impact plus on-going programs to enhance the nutritional quality of pork, to protect the environment and to treat livestock humanely.  Due to new technologies and management systems, U.S. pork producers have trimmed pork’s fat content 31 percent since 1983.

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
ASI Bright Star Award

ASI Bright Star Award

Crawfordsville, In – Abilities Services, Inc. (ASI) was presented with the Montgomery County Economic Development (MCED) “Bright Star Award” for Outstanding Corporate Citizenship.
For 15 years under the leadership of Steve Gooch, ASI has grown and created a variety of new programming and resources for individuals with disabilities and similar disadvantages in Clinton, Montgomery, and Tippecanoe Counties. 
On March 1, 2009, ASI appointed Robert Cook to the position of Executive Director after Mr. Gooch informed the Board in 2008 of his desire to retire late in 2009.   Mr. Gooch will continue as Director of Business Development and provide support through the transition period.
Steve’s advocacy efforts along with Bob’s organizational and creative efforts played a critical role in the recent development of innovative new programs, such as Respite, which started in June, and the absorption of the Montgomery County Day Care program now provided at ASI’s Concord facility.
Steve’s desire for a continuation of a seamless transition for the consumers led him to give the Board advance notice of his future plans.  A visible and articulate champion for the field of challenged individuals, Steve will continue to serve Abilities Services focusing on finalizing the new ASI facility planned for Clinton County in Frankfort, and consolidating ASI’s two service locations in Lafayette to the Howarth Center.
