BUCYRUS — The Crawford County Board of Developmental Disabilities has sent out a hearty “Thank You” to Ohio Mutual Insurance and its Commercial Lines Underwriting Group in particular.
The Commercial Lines Underwriting team spent two separate days last month with the faculty at CCBDD, and helping out around the facilities. On Dec. 11, members of the Ohio Mutual team read Christmas stories to five classrooms at Fairway Schools, and donated several books to the school.
On Dec. 14, the Commercial Lines Underwriting team partnered with the Abounding Arts program and helped individuals craft glass bottle snowmen and create hand painted gift tags with stamped sayings on each one.
“We are very grateful for the donation of time the wonderful people at Ohio Mutual provided as they read books to our preschool classes and helped individuals create art in our adult services program,” said Court Sturts, superintendent of the CCBDD. “It’s great to see the community embrace and hang out with individuals with developmental disabilities. We were truly blessed by Ohio Mutual’s participation and we look forward to future opportunities.”
Each year, Ohio Mutual Insurance Group associates find a way to give back to the community before the year’s end, whether it be through donations or volunteer work.
“It was rewarding to visit the classrooms, interact with the children and those in the Abounding Arts program,” said Melinda Teynor, Ohio Mutual Commercial Lines Service Center Manager. “Any time we can get out of the office and help our community is time well spent, and I am thankful we had this opportunity.”
Teynor was one of the members from Ohio Mutual Commercial Underwriting team that helped organize the events.
In addition to the helping out at the facilities, the Ohio Mutual Commercial Underwriting team also raised $410 to donate to the CCBDD’s technology needs, specifically in our Fairway Schools.
“We had a wonderful time volunteering and learning more about the CCBDD, and we hope to continue partnering with them in the future,” Teynor said.
