CRSI Recognizes Vargo & Rippetoe for 15 Years of Service!

1/22/2021

Trudi Vargo
Trudi Vargo
​Congratulations to Trudi Vargo, a DSM in Auglaize County who has spent the past 15 years with CRSI!
 
Trudi started as a part-time DSP working with 15 individuals at the Licensed group home in Auglaize County & worked part-time at another location. When a position opened, Trudi moved to full-time at the group home.  After about a year and a half, Trudi moved to a full-time manager position in Van Wert.  She worked in Van Wert for about a year & transferred back to Auglaize County, where for the last 12+ years she has been a full-time manager, providing oversite to different combinations of two homes, and at one time, Trudi was managing 3 different locations.  Most recently, in addition to managing, Trudi also assists with payroll processing, entries, & corrections as well as running reports for Care Tracker.

When asked what has been the most rewarding during her years with CRSI, Trudi said seeing the positive changes, less restrictions, & more person-centered outcomes for the consumers.  She also said she values the friendships from staff & noted that Tanya Stauffer, her Program Spec (who has been with CRSI 17 years!) and Sue Ulis, her Program Administrator (who's been with CRSI for 26.5 years!) are the only original employees in Auglaize County from when she started.  Tanya, Sue, & Trudi enjoyed a socially distanced lunch at the Auglaize office to celebrate Trudi’s years with CRSI.

We also celebrate Kristy Rippetoe, PS in Van Wert County, for her 15 years with CRSI. Congratulations Kristy! 

Kristy worked FT at a workshop in Williams County, and for extra income, she came to work for CRSI as a part-time DSP at a drop-in site in Defiance County.  She said that over the years, her position with CRSI became about the individuals, not about the income.

​In 2019, Kristy came to Van Wert County as the full-time Program Specialist.  Kristy said she has enjoyed working with the individuals, seeing what they are capable of, teaching them, & learning from them.  She said they have definitely taught her patience.  Kristy was unable to attend our recognition lunch.

Meet Melissa, "Our Own Ray of Sunshine"

1/4/2021

Comments

 
​This pandemic has taken a toll on our staff, causing long hours, new and continuing changes, and extra time spent away from families and loved ones. However, our staff continues to perform their duties with unparalleled love and compassion. We are beyond thankful and grateful for their service and for people like Melissa W.
 
Melissa is a full-time employee at our McKinley Home in Knox County. She is one of the most upbeat people you will ever meet. Those that work with her say Melissa is "our own ray of sunshine and her laughter is infectious." We are so lucky to have her!
 
Melissa always has a smile on her face. She is full of positivity. Spend some time around Melissa and you'll surely hear her spreading positivity with her sayings like, "Stay beautiful," "I love my job!" and "This place is my happy place!"

Melissa's teammates claim her positivity rubs off on others in the home. More than a few times, they've heard one of the individuals they serve yell, "STAY BEAUTIFUL!" from his room, mimicking Melissa.
CRSI Staff
"STAY BEAUTIFUL" Melissa!
Melissa is part of this AMAZING CRSI team, and her positivity and upbeat personality really helps during these tough times. She has worked countless hours, doubles, weeks without days off - all for the love of those she serves. She gives 110% of herself always and never complains.

​Thank you Melissa for your dedication, compassion, integrity, and just being an awesome human! Your glowing presence to those you serve and those around you makes a difference every single day. We are proud to have you as a part of our CRSI Team!
