Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers! We know the Emmaus Black and Gold Club members were thrilled to cheer our team to victory last night, and we’re excited to announce that some of you are winners today as well!

At Emmaus, our mission demands that we do more than provide individuals with intellectual disabilities with a permanent place to live. We provide true Homes. Emmaus works to create a Community where all members—with and without disabilities—are able to grow and become whole. That means sharing our lives, celebrating our successes, supporting one another through losses, praying, working hard, and breaking bread together. Emmaus Resident Debbie Crighton has been part of our Community since the beginning. Here’s a little more information about Debbie:
Jackie and Debbie at Seven Springs
Founders Lorraine and Ken Wagner began the Emmaus Community in 1989, and Debbie Crighton joined us as the first Emmaus resident and lived with Ken and Lorraine at our Southside home, Emmaus House, in 1994. Debbie enjoys spending time with her roommates, Carla and Diane. A long time employee of Goodwill Industries, Debbie is known for being a hard worker, but also for her mischievous sense of humor and her frequent bursts of laughter. In her free time, Debbie enjoys crafts—especially hook rugs and jewelry-making—and participating in Special Olympic basketball and swimming. Be a friend to Debbie, and she’ll be the first to let you know—“You’re Number One!”
Thank you for participating in the 2009 Emmaus Black and Gold Club! Our next drawing will be held on March 2nd, 2009. March prizes will be announced in the coming weeks!
Sincerely,
The Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh
