Read what some of our satisfied clients and family members have to say...
  • Our son just got back from his very first overnight trip to NH for the country western weekend and Willie Nelson concert. He's 28 yrs. old and has never been away from us overnight before. Needless to say we were a little bit nervous and anxious about how all of this would go, not to mention feeling more than a little bit guilty about looking forward to a weekend alone! I just have to say how pleased we are about the outcome, Bob says it was the best vacation he ever had and he truly enjoyed himself. He told us about so many things that he did, which is very unlike him - but such a nice change. Your staff was so nice and took pictures for us with a disposable camera that we sent. Bob has already asked me when the pictures are going to be developed because he can't wait to see them. Kudos to you and your staff (Bob & Jacqui), and you can bet our son will be going on more trips with your organization!

  • "What I Miss About Drew" (a poem - written by Beth B.)

    1) Me sitting next to you in restaurants, boats, and sometimes the van too.

    2) Your clever jokes and funny stories of past trip experiences (i.e. me being late for the 5/7/2000 "Duck Tour" trip)

    3) Your WARM and WELCOME greetings to everyone when they arrive (i.e. "Hey" or "Hi, how are you doing?")

    4) Opening announcements "Welcome", "I'll be running the club tonight", and/or "We'll be doing such/such tonight."

    5) Your closing greetings such as "I would like to thank my St. Paul St. people for being here."

    6) Your wonderful handshakes, hugs and arm embraces.

    7) You generously helping clients get in or out of the van (i.e. "here so/so" or "good job").

    8) Reassuring me or other clients when they get nervous (i.e. fear or height on flights, long waits in terminals or meeting spots, and/or scary rides).

    9)Making good trip suggestions to me when I'm undecided about what I want. (i.e. "I'd do so/so trip because..." "you'd love this trip" and/or "there are a lof of Club people you know.")

    AND Best OF ALL,
    10) Your amazing advice to your clients such as "please don't overdo it" (buffet), "please don't lose all your money" (casinos), and/or "please have your money ready" (ice cream shops).
     
  • "Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you again what a great job the whole staff did this summer. My kids can't wait for next year. They enjoyed all the field trips, but mostly just had a fun summer. Thank you for your hard work."
     
  • "I want to thank you and your staff for an enjoyable and fun filled weekend of skiing and tubing. Dinner Saturday night was excellent. I like meeting new people and making new friends as I did this weekend. Thanks again and I look forward to doing trips with you in the future."
     
  • "Thank you so much for the scholarship for F.  I am circulating all the information you sent to our residences."
     
  • "I know how much Alternative Leisure has done for K. and for us. I am happy that your company can provide a living remembrance, in D.'s name. You have a wonderful program. It seemed only fitting that any donations should go to it and provide fun for our 'special' children. Thanks for taking care of the scholarship monies and for being part of our lives."
     
  • "We wanted to let you know what a wonderful time H. had in Memphis. He did not want to go home with us on his arrival in Boston. This is his usual reaction when he had enjoyed something and does not want it to end - a great testament to the girls. Both Deanna and Jamie were so organized and pleasant and provided so many nice adventures in such a short time. H. looks forward to many more trips with your group."
     
  • "We would like to thank you so much for making it possible for D. to participate in the Saturday Night Program. As you probably know, D. just loves these outings and it is his only opportunity to go out with peers & old friends. We have always been so grateful for the wonderful arraignments you make for our "kids". Again, from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much."
     
  • "On behalf of PATH, I want to thank you for "pulling off" the Halloween Dance. It was a success because you decided to do it. Thank you for all you do - not just for PATH. As a parent, you know how much your wonderful programs are meaningful & appreciated. I, for one, cannot say enough good things about all you do."
     
  • "Thanks for all the joy you bring throughout the year."
     
  • "Thank you for all the great work you, your family and staff do."
     
  • "You give and have given so many wonderful opportunities to the special needs folk, making humdrum lives ones filled with wonderful adventures and excitement. Your capable, caring staff help them succeed in their quest for lives like everyone else."
