The noise never stops CORD from speaking to our community! It also never stops CORD from hearing our community either. Marissa and Alexa were able to meet with so many wonderful organizations to discuss CORD services. Here we have Char Priolo from Provincetown Chamber of Commerce. These two were speaking about CORD services as well as what the Chamber does! In the video, Char is saying that she is at this event to speak to people like Marissa from CORD about their lovely organizations to see what is out there for her community and Marissa also says she is there to bring back resources for her community and consumers! Marissa was also talking to Jim Russo from Eastham Chamber of Commerce about the types of activities and enrichment/skills training that TAP provides and in this video, Marissa is speaking about the Transition Workshop TAP is planning on having. We couldn't get a picture of all of the organizations we spoke to but here is some of the great people who came out to the Nauset job Fair. Pictured also is Chris, Alexa and Marissa from Verizon taking a silly photo! And Marissa speaking to Carol from Seamen's Bank! Also a shout out to Robin from United States Postal Service, Adam and Austin from the Town of Truro Rec and Beach Division, Patricia from VRNS, Taylor from Animal Hospital of Orleans, Peter the owner of Van Rensselelaer's, Lisa from Helping Our Women, Terry from Wholistic-Health Care, Laurie from the Town of Eastham, Susan from Town of Brewster, Jessica from The Y, Officer Jake McGrath from Eastham Police Department, Christine from Eastham Rec and Beach, and anybody else that we may have missed! Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you and speak with you all yesterday. CORD always loves these events. 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less
