| SCC Advisory Meeting May 2004 |
HISTORY: The Stroke Comeback Center opened in October 2004 - without furniture or dividing
walls! But we have committed volunteers, lots of energy, and a drive to succeed. Why? The members of
the Consumer Advisory Board are stroke survivors and their loved ones (family and friends.) Pictured
in the right are (from the left): Darlene Williamson, SCC Exec. Director, Dennis Sponholtz, Janice Rodriguez, Marcie
Sponholtz, Paul Berger and Stephanie Mensh. Not pictured is Winston Lindsley - he took the picture!
