Quest would like to recognize the generous work of the Scott County Woman's Club for their tireless efforts to sup-

port us and other agencies throughout Scott County.

As American Pharoah was preparing for the first leg of his Triple Crown, these dedicated women were preparing for

their annual Derby Party that raises thousands of dollars each year for agencies in our community. This sacrificial

work not only has a financial impact on Quest and the individuals in our programs, but serves to strengthen the culture

of our entire community.

We look forward to continuing our work with the Scott County Woman's Club as we both look to improve the lives of

every individual in our community.

Quest Connect At The Buddy Williams Center

Special Announcement Quest Farm is excited to announce the launch of our Capital Campaign to benefit our

programs and new building, Quest Connect at The Buddy Williams Center, located at

100 St. Luke Place in Georgetown.

The purchase of this building was made possible by the generosity of the Buddy Wil-

liams family. Winfred "Buddy" Williams (1930-2011) lived in Landon House on the farm

for the better part of two decades. Buddy had experience working on his family farm

prior to coming to Quest, and as a result he brought a strong work ethic to our program

that influenced those around him. We are very grateful to the Williams family for the

significant gift that they have contributed towards our programming and mission.

Quest Connect at The Buddy Williams Center will allow us to expand and improve upon

the capabilities of our Day Training, Supported Employment, and other community-

based services, which are currently located at our downtown location on Main Street in

Georgetown.

Our goal for the Capital Campaign is to raise $300,000 by December 31, 2016, which

will support the growth of these programs and allow us to reach more individuals

throughout our community.

Building On Success

Meet our friend, James. James has been with our program for about five months

now. He was attending a previous program, but felt that our program and activities

better suited his needs.

James benefits greatly from our program because of how active we are as well as

being surrounded by individuals who share his interests. James continues to grow

each day by building new friendships and independence. James has been learn-

ing how to cook, practicing archery, working with computers, and much more.

James will be able to continue growing his independence at the new building with

more and new opportunities. The new property will be a significant growth for

many of our individuals because we will have more space to do new activities.

The new property is also a blessing with the amount of space we will have out-

side, which allows our folks to be active and outgoing.

Goals Quest Connect at The Buddy Williams Center will create many new opportunities for our programs, while also eliminating the

current challenges we face. This will allow us to provide better accommodations and new options for our current clients. With

more space, we will also be able to accept more individuals into our programs, and have a greater impact on our community.

Current cramped space for Day Training.

Challenges At Current Location

Safety. Being located on Main Street where there is a lot of

traffic presents safety concerns for our clients.

Lack of outdoor space for clients to enjoy.

One indoor room. With everyone in one room, it is both diffi-

cult to teach and difficult for our clients to focus.

Overcrowded.

Not enough storage for arts/crafts and other activities.

Limited program capabilities.

New Opportunities At Buddy Williams Center

Provide a safe outdoor area for clients to enjoy.

The ability for clients to plant an outdoor garden.

Offer outdoor activities on site.

Multiple rooms to utilize for various activities.

An elevator to better accommodate individuals and

their family members

More storage and better overall logistics.

Improved program capabilities. New spacious outdoor area at Buddy Williams Center.

Q&A Q: I thought Quest Farm was just a farm?

A: Outside of our 26-acre farm, we also provide various programs to help our clients lead fulfilling lives. While the farm is our

foundation, we have multiple programs that take place in the community and benefit more individuals who need assistance

with daily living, employment support, and community involvement.

Q: Why do you need a new building?

A: We need a new building because all of our programs continue to grow. In order for us to continue to meet our mission

and help every individual reach for their stars, we need a building that provides more space for programming, outreach op-

portunities, has better logistics, and provides a safer environment for our clients.

Q: What will happen to the space you are currently using for the Day Training Program?

A: We currently lease our existing space on Main Street and will transition our programming to our new location just up the

street.

Q: Where is the new building?

A: Quest Connect at The Buddy Williams Center is located at 100 St. Luke Place, in Georgetown. This location will not only

give us additional space to better meet the needs of our individuals, but also allow us to remain an important part of the thriv-

ing downtown community.

Q: When will renovations begin?

A: Renovations have already begun, and will continue throughout the summer.

Q: When will renovations be completed?

A: Our goal is to be moved into the new building by Labor Day.

Q: Why is it called Quest Connect at The Buddy Williams Center?

A: Thanks to a generous donation by the family of Buddy Williams, one of our previous residents, we were able take this

step out on faith and move forward with the purchase and renovation of this property. Naming the building after Buddy Wil-

liams is a way to honor his memory as well as recognize the generosity of his family.
