Meet Sarah
Meet David
I like my friends. My favorite job was cutting rope for Frigidaire. I like to do vials and recycle Christmas lights. I like my friendships.
I go to dance class (Connect Academy) and I do my own TV show! My show is my own personal view about current events and sports. I started editing my show with Mike. If it weren’t for Mike I would just be programming. It gives me a reason to come to WACOSA every morning because I’m learning new things. I like the camaraderie because I love talking to people. For the past 26 years it’s been a big part of my life; without it, I’d be at home watching TV.
I have been to Day at the Capitol more than once and have participated in tours at WACOSA. I also narrated the WACOSA play Fill the Castle!

Mike and Jimmy
Meet Jimmy
Jimmy has been with WACOSA for 6 years and enjoys participating in many work and life enrichment activities. Jimmy is ready with a smile to welcome all he meets.
Jimmy shares, “I like vacuuming, dance class, getting presents and I love my anniversary and getting my certificate! I like working with my Client Manager Bonnie. I like painting with Gabby. I like seeing Mike during computer classes. I like Gaming class with Sarah. I do this at home after WACOSA on the computer!”
Meet Leif
For 33 years Leif has been part of the WACOSA family. Along the way, Leif has had many work and life enrichment experiences. Most rewarding is watching him learn and grow, ultimately becoming the man he is today.
Leif says, “I like Miller Bingo, working on the laundry job and recycling. I can take a break whenever I like. I like my staff Teri and my friend Amy. I like coming to WACOSA because people understand sometimes I need quiet and that I like to eat in the smaller lunchroom.”
