Letter from the Executive Director
The recent move to our new home is one of many in the history of TEBH. Sco, Shawn and
Bailey McCarville have been involved as a family with TEBH since TEBHs infancy and have
watched the agency grow throughout the years.
In looking to the rst me we encountered TEBH, I was honestly a lile skepcal as we
pulled into the parking space in front of a ny old gas staon. What is this,
I thought. We went in not knowing what to expect, not knowing this would be the begin-
ning of a 10-year relaonship with this new place. I recall aer that rst meeng, all of us
cramped into a small room and the kids being taken next door to a day care that was rentedout for the evening, my girls came out talking and sharing and it was refreshing to know
that maybe we found a place they can remember and share without it being a scary and sad
event. I have watched TEBH grow and move to many facilies, each one just a lile bit larger,
each one holding its own memories and serving its purpose at that me, each one absorbing
the tears and hopes of those that have walked through each door. It is truly amazing to have
watched TEBH grow over the last 10 years to what it has become today, to have watched all
of our kids take part in the program and to see my girls becoming volunteers. That is how it
has touched our family these kids are now wanng to give back and watch others grow
with TEBH into the next 10 years.
Sco McCarville
Walking into a new place and not knowing what was going to happen was scary and was
what I felt when I rst walked into the day care next door. Being involved with this group
from the beginning has been wonderful. I have seen so much growth and dedicaon from its
supporters which is the reason it is sll standing today, bigger and beer than ever. I am so
glad to have been a part of TEBH all of these years.
Shawn McCarville, 16
