President’s Corner
A Message From Dr. Teresa Garate
Dear Anixter Center Friends, Colleagues and Supporters:
I am happy to announce that I have completed my first year as Anixter’s President and CEO and continue to marvel at the wondrous impact we have every day in the lives of so many people. I would like to use this issue of our newsletter to tell you a little bit about what we have been up to ensure that Anixter Center continues to grow and soar all throughout Chicagoland and beyond.
Anixter Center and its three divisions—CALOR, Chicago Hearing Society (CHS) and Lekotek—form one of the largest nonprofit organizations in the Chicago area serving children, teens, adults and seniors with disabilities.
CALOR has built a unique niche supporting people of color on Chicago’s West side, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS.
Chicago Hearing Society (CHS) empowers deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people to communicate and collaborate.
National Lekotek Center provides an array of services to improve the lives of children with special needs through toys and play therapy.
