TMWC BUILDING EXPANSION AND
RECOVERY CAMPUS PROJECT CONTINUES By Kelly Skinner TMWC Executive Director
Although wersquove had snow sleet and freezing temperatures contractors made headway on our project prior
to the worst of it hitting Like the photos below demonstrate the following has been completed the basement
including its ceiling which is the floor for the memberrsquos lounge the serenityquiet room an office and a small
area of the rec room the foundation walls which have been filled with dirt and concrete installation of the
white pipes coming out of the ground that are the restrooms plumbing and all of the sewer lines have been in-
stalled and connected to the city sewer
Also completed are the reinforced bars that are coming out of the ground which is for the computer lab that
also will double as a safety room for tornados or other threats There will be no windows in there but rather ce-
ment block which is on site waiting to be installed Drains have been installed for overall site drainage Electri-
cal contractors have prepped areas and put wires in place so when warmer weather arrives concrete will be
poured for the remainder of the flooring in the expansion
Recently contractors installed ceiling sprinklers for the existing building So a lot has been accomplished in
spite of the weather TMWC Project Manager Dave Wilson is confident any lost time will be made up and the
estimated time of completion will be late July Come by and check out all of the action
February 16 2018 completed basement in foreground February 16 2018 restrooms are above left amp the computer lab
is to the right with a white tarp covering the area
ILSErsquoS CAFEacute ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS WILL NOT RESUME
DURING CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Usually the start of spring at TMWC means resuming Wednesday Evening hours for Ilsersquos Cafeacute
TMWC Building Committee and Project Manager has determined it is necessary to keep hours of opera-
tions as it stands currently Monday through Friday 9am-4pm Contractors will need to enter our exist-
ing building to access mechanical and heating and air conditioning units in our attic as well as for the
eventual renovating of the existing building The wait for TMWC beautiful Building Expansion and Re-
covery Campus will be worth it Imagine the fitness center where the current club room is a larger kitchen
an art studio where both classrooms are currently a rec room with a pool table and ping pong table and the
recovery campus will include gardens for members to tend to pavilions next to the gardens to hold support
meetings and much more Everyonersquos patience is truly appreciated

Hello everyone I would like to take this time to introduce myself I just began working at the
Thomas M Wernert Center at the end of January Everyone has been so kind and welcoming I
am a Recreation Therapist and so my background consists of creating and facilitating therapeutic
groups programs and activities I also enjoy incorporating creative arts (or expressive arts as I
like to call it) in our journey of wellness and recovery

was previously held on the first Monday of the month will now be held on the first Tuesday of the month at

Farewell but not Goodbye from Aaron Keil SOTA During my time at TMWC I have had the pleasure of getting to meet and know many people
who will and have undoubtedly changed the course of my life for the better as a practitioner
and even more so as a person I had the opportunity to witness the true meaning of recovery and
have learned even more the importance of socialization and participation One thing I will take
away aside from learning about the many faces of mental health is we have more in common
than we do thatrsquos different The beautiful thing about the TMWC is no matter how different we
are people can come here and totally be themselves in a completely judgment free zone Re-
cently the staff and many members have said they enjoyed my company but I have equally en-
joyed theirs as well In closing I can honestly say that although this is a field work site for
school I really donrsquot feel like a student but rather a person who just simply belongs here A special thanks to Lisa
Stewart who has guided me along my way and thank you to everyone elseI am forever grateful
