Pat Cooper, founding parent and Elizabeth Woodliff, director of operations, will tell us of the remarkable work being done for family's planning for their adult children's futures.

“One never knows what the future holds yet, at the November meeting, you will hear how thoughtful and forward-thinking people sponsoring Springboard Landings are addressing important aspects of how adults with mild developmental disabilities might sustain a community-centered quality of life for years to come. Springboard Landings is answering the question: what happens when my parents are no longer available?”

She, like her sisters, played the organ at the Masses and services at St. Catherine Church. She moved to Louisville, KY, where she worked for the Jefferson County Medical Society, and met her husband, Charlie, to whom she has been married for over 60 years. They have four children and moved to Tennessee in 1973. They became members of St. Henry Church and their children graduated from St. Henry and Father Ryan High schools. Pat eventually went back to work and became administrative assistant and secretary to the principal at Father Ryan High School for eight years, after which she worked for Precision Color for 15 years before retiring. Pat is now a member St. Matthew in Franklin.
