Happy 2 be Home as had some great PR in the last month.
Berks-Mont paper’s online had some great photos from the Car Show held at NHUMC on
Sunday, September 14th. A few even included our very own Charlotte helping with the trophies.
On October 4th, John Yoast of 107.5 Alive talked candidly with Susan Wendell to share the story
behind creation of Happy 2 be Home.
In other news, we learned CNN featured a story describing how 3D printing has been helping a family
very dear to us. The Mohn family (a family we assisted with the conversion of the family garage into a
downstairs bedroom for their daughter, Hannah) was interviewed for the story describing how the
research design engineers at du Pont Children’s Hospital used 3D printing to create the WREX
(Wilmington Robotic EXoskeleton). This device has aided in the development of Hannah’s arm
movements.
Susan Wendell was nominated, and accepted the position of Vice President on the Happy 2 be Home
board.
Volunteers and potential board members are needed. If you are interested please contact Scott, or join
us for our next Board meeting (November 12th, 7:30PM) to see what we are all about.
