“I am looking forward to retiring happy, wild, and free.”
After 32 years of service at Winona ORC, Darlene Kieffer was excited to retire on February 25, 2010 as expressed in her quote. This opportunity was provided by Winona ORC because of the comprehensive job training offered to Darlene to help her sustain a job despite having multiple disabilities. Even with the disabilities, Darlene has the ability to be very independent in her personal and professional life. At WORC she was known for her friendliness, excellent attendance, great attitude, willingness to try new things, and tremendous dependability.
Everyone looks for a purpose, a reason to wake up in the morning. Winona ORC provides that opportunity to over 310 of our neighbors with disabilities on a daily basis. Some clients even get the chance to enjoy the experience of retirement from WORC. We appreciate the contributions Darlene made to our organization in the last 32 years and we wish her the best!
