Making a difference both professionally and personally in our community is a core value to THE ROSENBERG GROUP. We're proud of our commitment to one particular organization, The Friendship Circle, in West Bloomfield, Michigan. This organization supports 3,000 individuals with special needs by providing recreational, social, education and vocational programming. That programming includes practicing skills in the "Lessons for Life" village. For the third consecutive year, our team helped students put those skills into action.
It's here we help kids with cognitive and physical challenges learn and practice everyday life skills such as following traffic signs while crossing the street. Students put their skills to action buying popcorn and heading to a mini movie while others travel to the salon to get their nails done. A visit to the village wouldn't be complete without a stop at the pet store to play with a snake or hold a reptile. It's all part of Baird's corporate, global initiative, Baird Gives Back. This year some 1,400 volunteers from more than 100 branches from England and Germany to California and Michigan volunteered at 128 non-profit organizations making our world a bit smaller and sweeter.
