Testimonials From Parents and Staff
My sister Lynnette, has been a member of the Just Us Club for almost six years. The care, concern, love and nurturing from the JUC staff is magnificently fantastic! They're angels!" -Julie Jenkins
"My son, Austin, has been in the Just Us Club program for 3 years. It's a great feeling to know that he is well taken care of by a wonderful and trained staff. Austin attends Just Us Club after school and is bused there from his program twice a week while my husband and I work. Just Us Club not only offers the after school care, but two Friday night respites a month. It gives us a chance to do things that are too stimulating for our son, who has severe Autism." -Paula, mom of Austin, Age 13.
"For years, I saw the Just Us Club notices on the back door at the High Point building, our son Dominic was in pre-school. Two years later, I inquired about it and heard only good things. Still, I was reluctant to leave him with anyone 'unfamiliar.' I was worried about anyone handling our son's behavior problems. Two years after that, I finally got up the nerve to talk with Director, Marilyn Johnston. Pretty much after meeting her and the other staff, I was sold that these people cared about all who entered their doors. Stephanie, Molly, Carrie, Brooke, Genevieve, Jessica and the rest, were not unfamiliar for long, as Dominic got to know all of them and they each made their own connection with him. Just Us Club is a wonderful program where all friends who attend are treated with respect, care and have lots of fun. I hope people who need such respite services won't hesitate as long as I did." -Martha

When i left for 3 years i did not stop thinking about Just us Club. Therefore, the reason i am back is to work for the children that I love so dearly." -Carrie Livingston
"Joy Pangborn has been attending Just Us Club for at least 10 years. She went full time at the Adult program in September 2007. The staff at the program are wonderful caring people. Joy enjoys going everyday. As a parent of a special needs child, I am thankful that I don't have to worry about her care, or her emotional well being. I think of them as my extended family." - Julie Pangborn
