AcknowledgingOur Creative Team
Design is a critical step in any building project. It’s the process that turns an idea into a thought, which becomes the foundationfor a plan that guides the development of the effort.Without a design, there can be no building. TEEG expresses our deepest gratitude to the building partners we have in our design teamwho make this annual report possible year after year. Mike Bernier of Photo Express, Laura Moorehead of Angell House Design, andMary Ann and Kyle Dostaler of MAD Communications have once again donated their gifts of professional time and talent to ensurethat this document and our website will share TEEG’s message in a way that resonates with the community we serve. Their collectivecommitment to quality and dedication to community is unparalleled.While we could never afford them, we are ever grateful and appreciative that they have chosen TEEG as a benefactor of their creative gifts.

As TEEG ends our 24th year of service to the community,we do so knowing that the success of our agency is rootedin our long-standing relationships and core values. Ours arethe same old fashioned principals that founded our nation;the ones where family comes rst and community is servedabove self. It’s the same “all for one and one for all”philosophy that built barns, homesteads, neighborhoodsand communities.Holding tight to these values of partnership andcommunity, TEEG has been blessed to see the beginningof our new building take shape. The new facility locatedon Thatcher Road in North Grosvenordale has beendesigned from the ground up to meet the physical needsof our growing agency and better serve the community.The most exciting part of this project is that it is beingbuilt the TEEG way. In partnership with many throughoutthe community, this construction project is very differentfrom any other municipal initiative. Once completed, it willbe forever distinguished by the mark of the communitywho came together to build it, not with their tax dollars,but with shared effort, sweat equity and commitment toserve; the same tenants that built so many of the historicstructures in our region.After starting with the professional talents of a few togarner the grant funding needed to erect a shell, thespirit of volunteerism has taken over the responsibility ofbuilding out the interior space. We are proud that theTEEG public/private partnership is now serving as a modelfor the State of Connecticut. Our building embodies thespirit of community that founded our agency and the veryspirit of civic responsibility and community pride on whichAmerica was built.
“Having been in politics for many years, I was surprised at how muchmore I was able to learn from TEEGabout what social service reallymeans. I have a beer understandingof how many people count on publicservices; working people who needthe system in ways I hadn’t thoughtof before. TEEG is a great example of how the State can fund a lile andthe community can get a lot.”
– State Representative Daniel S. Rovero51st District Connecticut General Assembly
