Welcome to Our New and Improved Blog!


In an effort to keep everyone more involved with and informed of all the goings on here at NES, we promise to do better at keeping this blog up to date!

This month we will be having our annual Halloween Party. It will be held on October 29 from 12 PM to 3 PM at the NES Office. There will be dancing, games and treats. Everyone is welcome, so please come and join us!
Don't forget your costume and your dancing shoes!



We are pleased to inform all of you that we have a new Host Home program. We are happy to welcome our newest Host Home to the NES Family:

Last month in our Day Program, clients had the opportunity to work at The Bike Collective, a local bike shop here in Salt Lake City. Clients were able to help build and fix bikes as well as learn about bicycle safety.

We give a special thanks to The Bike Collective for allowing us to come and learn from them. It was a wonderful experience and everyone had a great time!

This month the Day Program will be working at the Food Co-op. They will help organize all the food, clean and fill boxes with food to be taken out into the community. Pictures of this activity and more will be posted next month.

Also this month, our friends from UAID Utah Association for Intellectual Disabilities came to visit us. UAID offers a large amount of support to our clients. One large event that they sponsor is the Sub for Santa every Christmas. The Sub for Santa gives community members the opportunity to get involved and also allows some of our clients to have a wonderful Christmas.
