First Annual
Drive for Opportunity
September 16, 2006

Presented by


The New York/Connecticut Viper Club



The New York/Connecticut Viper Club along with the other Tri-state regions are very proud to announce the first annual

Drive for Opportunity



September 16, 2006



Terravest Corporate Park
International Drive
Brewster, NY

Mapquest Ace Endico on International Drive from I-84. Very easy to get to from the whole tri-state area

This is to benefit the Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association of New York. Only in the preliminary stages of organization, but we are determined to make this event the biggest event the Viper Club has ever taken on as a Charity. Rather than wait another month for more details to be in
place, we wanted to give everybody as much time as possible to get this date on your calendars, rain or shine.

Some of the plans we will be rolling out will include:

Raffle car, yet to be determined, open to the whole nation wide Viper Club, promising to be very unique.

Vendors similar to what goes on at VOI's.

Activities for Children, making this Fun for the whole family.

Advertisement space available for purchase in brochures to market your business to the Tri-State NY/CT/NJ area.

Who are we helping ?

Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association (HVCPA) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) Health and Human Services Agency that provides services to individuals who experience disabilities throughout the Hudson Valley region. The Agency began providing these services in a 7,500 square foot site in Patterson, NY in 1987, and currently occupies over 33,000 square feet in three buildings. Due to the growing needs of our community for more services, the Agency is in the process of constructing a new 71,000 square foot building in the Town of Southeast, Putnam County, NY.

The Agency currently provides a variety of programs to infants and children through the HVCPA Childhood Center Programs (CCP) including Early Intervention, Pre-School and Itinerant Teacher programs, and clinical services to through its DOH Article 28 Clinic, including general pediatrics, child psychiatry, pediatric neurology, and all rehabilitative services.

The Agency also operates the following programs for adults, including Day Treatment and Day Habilitation for individuals who experience developmental disabilities and Structured Day Programs for individuals who experience a traumatic brain injury. HVCPA also provides community based residential services including Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs), Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRAs) and Residential Living Facilities, including apartments. In addition, HVCPA operates an Article 28 diagnostic and treatment clinic that provides a large range of medical and therapeutic services, including: Mental Health (psychiatric and psychological evaluation and treatment and behavioral analysis), physical and occupational therapies, speech and language therapies, audiology, as well as primary medical and specialty medical services including neurology, orthopedics, physiatry, podiatry, ENT, and specialized Dental Services. In addition, the Agency provides service coordination to individuals who experience disabilities, as well as operates the Home Service Program in collaboration with the New York State Elks Association. The Agency currently provides services to approximately 4,000 people within the region, and employs over 300 individuals.

The development of this new building will provide our community an opportunity to benefit from enhanced programming and service provision that will become a reality in this specially designed environment. The building will provide a barriers free environment for any individual who requires services. Those needed services, including early intervention, pre-school, adult living skills, and medical will be enhanced to meet a growing waiting list. The citizens of Putnam County and its environs will be able to receive services closer to home. Specialized training modalities will be available so that people will have access to, and therefore experience art, music, theater, woodworking and cooking. Adults will be able to learn greater independence by having a training apartment available to them. In addition, this new site will allow for enhanced primary and specialty medical service including dental, available to everyone in our community. This building will provide the people the Agency serves, as well as the community at large the resources necessary to promote maximum good health, as well as provide the individual the opportunity to achieve his/her greatest individual potential.

If not in vagas I will be there

Good point russ. I know many of us from NY and CT are getting our vipers shipped around that week to VOI and the date won't work for a lot of us. It can't be a VCA event if most of us won't be around...

WE thought about this when setting it up. VOI is a full week after this event, which means there is a full week to ship the cars. We couldn't go to early in Sept due to Labor day, and August is not good with lots out on vacations. Later Sept or Oct could risk bad weather. We didn't think the VOI was going to occupy 2-3 weeks worth of time. I'm sure this will be a great turn out.

Please remember the Raffle car yet to be announced. No matter if you are at VOI or at home or where-ever, anyone could always buy ticket for the vehicle. That alone will make this a VCA-worthy event.

There will be lots more details to come, and lots more interest generated. Thanks for taking the time to check this out.

Keith, and everyone else looking to help, I really appreciate the help. This is a serious event, for a very needy and respectable cause. I should know, I work with the Clients of UCP two-three days out of the week. What these people go through is very tough. But as serious as this event is, and as HUGE as it's getting, it needs to be FUN !!!! I'm doing this with a smile on my face, not a **** as though it's just a lousy job. This is a great thing the Club is doing, :usa: and it'll be so much easier done under the esteemed leadership of our rapidly responsive, successful, caring, strong minded, detail oriented, and maybe good looking King, Scott. :D :D I'm cracking myself up.

So Keith, thanks for contacting those guys. It's one less thing that has to stay on my list. See you SUnday at NYU. Adrian, you are on FIRE. Thanks !

Adrian, you have mail.

Andrew

Slight correction but important. Please note that Ace Endico is in no way connected to this event as described above. Thanks for the understanding. This was an early post as I explained, and some changes and updates will come about as time goes on.

Thanks.
