A Look Back on 2015

WBRC would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy 2016!

There were several big events for WBRC in 2015 including watching our new home [B-500] on the Palo Alto Campus take shape and near completion, hosting a PBS documentary film crew at WBRC for two days, congratulating our staff members on their many accomplishments including contributing content to a book published by AFB Press and earning their 35 year service award, and watching our Alumni thrive.  As we prepare for 2016, let’s take a look back at 2015 via links to some of our favorite WBRC Blog posts from the year:

WBRC would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy 2015.

There were several big events for WBRC in 2014 including soaring for our 2014 CARF survey, a staff member retiring after over 40 years of service, our 10th Annual White Cane Awareness Walk, and watching the progress of construction of B500 - our new home at Palo Alto. As we prepare for 2015, lets take a look back at 2014 via links to some of our favorite WBRC Blog posts from this year:
