LETMESAIL has achieved an incredible amount of success in just over three years of operation. We were recently nominated for Organization of the Year for 2007 by the Signal Newsmaker of the Year awards committee. Congratulations!
 TESTIMONIALS
Linda R., mother of Trevor, age 18,
"My son has finally found a place where he can have fun and be accepted. The Range of activities, security provided by caring chaperones, and attention to detail all contribute to LETMESAIL's success."
Tony C., father of Jason, age 28,
"Each month, my son and I lllk forward to putting LETMESAIL activities on our calendar. He would be so lonely without your activities and I too enjoy volunteering for the organization."
Guy P., father of Elliot, age 19,
"LETMESAIL provides my son with positive social experiences that he would otherwisxe not have. When he is at LETMESAIL activities, he is totally accepted and experiences friendships that are not available to him in the community at large."
Phyllis S., mother of Jonah, age 25,
"LETMESAIL allows our son to socialize on a regular basis and to build his social skills, which has contributed to an improved self-esteem. Without LETMESAIL, he would be spending more time 'alone'at home watching TV or playing video games. Thank you LETMESAIL!"
Janelle D., mother of Dallas, age 23,
"As a family we have been so grateful to have adult activities for our son. As he grows older and watches his siblings grow and move out and have their own activities outside of family, he felt he was missing out. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for helping us fill this void."
Vicki J., mother of Michael, age 30,
"LETMESAIL has expanded my son's experiences. Without it, he would have not gone to places like Arena Football, a fish hatchery, cooking classes, Tae Bo exercise classes, etc. He just loves the interaction with the volunteers and all of the great experiences in the community. His life is so much richer because of LETMESAIL."
Leslie T., mother of Alyson, age 30,
"My daughter's participation in LETMESAIL enhances both of our lives immeasurably. She participates in a variety of enjoyable activities, while increasing her social and recreational skills. The activities also provide respite time for me, and I know she is in a safe, quality, and nurturing environment."
Lillian S., mother of Jereth, "Wonderful job like usual. Jereth has raved about his experience (Mammoth Camp) from the moment he arrived home. I am so thankful for all of your planning, hard work, and especially taking the initiative to navigate such a wonderful group like LETMESAIL!"
Jeanine K., sister of Sarah, "I was recently in Calif. visiting my sister, Sarah and our parents. I had the great privelage of meeting this fabulous group. I look forward to a lengthy relationship with your organization. Thank you for all you do, and God bless you all."
Joseph S., father of Daniel, "Thank you for having these events. Daniel enjoys and very much looks forward to them. As his parents, we see these as helping to fill a major gap in his life, and we hope LETMESAIL will be around for a long time."
Alison O., mother of Akin, "I have to say, on a personal level, I don^t think Akin will ever forget it (American Idol Night). He lives, eats, and breathes Tom Jones (we^re not sure why?), but for him that was just a total night of his expression of Tom^s music and to have a crowd to perform in front of, well, it was beyond compare. Thanks for making a memory that will last a lifetime for Akin (and by way of video) for our whole family. Thanks always for all the work you do for the kids in this valley."
Alison also states this about the Rose Parade on January 1, 2007,
"Dear Gary and the Let Me Sail Program,
Our family just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Rose Parade this morning. Just a beautiful day and we loved the "Star Wars" entries and the fiery dragon float the best. Everything went so smoothly with our wristbands and a great parking spot. It was a breeze and the seats were just incredible. Akin was so happy to share the event with his sister home from college and his Dad home from Africa. Super, super family day for all of us. We just wanted to thank you all for making it possible. Please thank Don Zennie for us. He made it all come together with great directions and advice. Super job.
Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Happy New Year!"
Pat C., father of Sean, "Sean is isolated. He needs to have things presented to him. There are a lot of different programs here for him."
