The VIP Services, Inc. Annual Golf & Tennis Outing took place on Monday, June 6th at Big Foot Country Club. This is our biggest (and currently the only) fundraiser of the year. Clients were present to greet and thank our supporters at check in and one of the new vans purchased with funds from our donors was on display. This years funds will be used towards replacing the roof at our facility in Elkhorn. It leaks when it rains and despite trying to get by with repairs and some buckets to contain the leaks, we need to make the investment in a roof that will keep our building dry for our clients and staff. We are so very thankful for all that participated, volunteered, sponsored, and contributed to this year’s event. Your generosity allows us to continue to provide services to adults with disabilities. We truly love what we do and could not do it without you. Thank you!
VIP Services 2022 Golf & Tennis Outing
VIP Clients Tee Up!
Some of our Day Service group went to Wisconsin Fairways a couple of times over the past few weeks to learn more about golf with an emphasis on it being an enjoyable way to get some exercise. What started as Wii golf, quickly turned into a desire by the individuals to explore the game of golf as a whole. After a few trips to virtual golf, they advanced to mini golf. Hoping to visit a driving range, and possibly even a quick round of nine holes at some point in the future. We strive to provide new experiences to our clients; their interest was peaked which led to expanding the experience from the video game into mini golf. See a few videos at the bottom of the post.

Local Scouts visit VIP, Inc. to earn their BSA Disabilities Awareness Merit Badge
On April 18th, 2022, Delavan-Darien Scouts BSA Troop 328 and Troop 7328 had the opportunity to visit VIP SERVICES, INC. This visit was the last requirement for their Disabilities Awareness Merit Badge. The requirements include, “Visit an agency that works with people with physical, mental, emotional, or educational disabilities. Collect and read information about the agency’s activities. Learn about opportunities its members have for training, employment, and education. Discuss what you have learned with your counselor.” Our scouts had the opportunity to interact with VIP clients to get to know them on a personal basis that goes beyond the label of their disability. Both clients and scouts got to enjoy so dinosaur themed activities in honor of Velociraptor Awareness Day. Those activities helped the scouts see some of the challenges that people in society may have. Scouts and clients also had the opportunity to talk and learn about each other before moving on to learn more about the other opportunities at VIP SERVICES, INC.
The scouts had an opportunity to learn about the pre-voc shop and we had a great Q and A session at the end. One scout asked when he could get a job at VIP SERVICES, INC. These scouts were also offered a few volunteer opportunities in the near future to work with our clients at upcoming events.
A big thanks to the scouts for coming to visit; our VIP clients and team members enjoyed having you here!
VIP Day Services Clients & Staff Help to Make Easter Eggstra Special for Local Kids!
On Wednesday, April 13th, 2022, the Day Service Clients and staff assisted the Delavan Chamber with preparing the eggs for the children’s Easter egg hunt. A group of six clients and three staff worked alongside the Coordinator of the event, to ensure there were plenty of prizes in the eggs for the children to discover on Easter. Through hard work, and determination, we were able to prep a few hundred plastic eggs with goodies on the inside. The clients were incredibly proud of their effort in this volunteer opportunity, and were able to say with excitement, that they helped make a Happy Easter for some children in the area. We would like to thank the Delavan Chamber for allowing us the opportunity to help with such an amazing opportunity!
