Community Presentations Being Held on the Draft 2011 Performance Plan
Individuals with developmental disabilities, their families and our service providers are key partners with the Center. This partnership is only successful when all parties involved have an opportunity to provide feedback on the future direction and long‐term goals of the Center. One avenue utilized by the Center to ensure that all persons interested in participating have an opportunity to provide feedback and comments is at our annual community meetings. This year’s meetings will focus on four key areas:
- Budget overview for fiscal year 2010‐11
- Accomplishments from the past year’s performance plan
- Changes to the performance plan for 2011
- Alternative service coordination model
We look forward to your attendance. If you have any more questions, please contact the Koch‐Young Resource Center at 213.252.5600 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Be Alert - Measles Cases on the Rise; Highly Contagious
Since January 2010, nine cases of measles have been reported in California, as many cases as in all of 2009. As in recent years, nearly all of the cases are known to have traveled recently to Europe or Asia or have been in contact with international travelers; some of the cases have been intentionally unvaccinated children. Measles is a highly contagious disease that presents with high fever and fast spreading rash, so be alert, and if you suspect it may be measles, seek immediate medical attention.
