It’s been a long three months.
June 12 marked the first day since mid-March that Vodec’s Iowa consumers were allowed to return to day programming in Council Bluffs and Urbandale as Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds lifted the statewide ban. “It was absolutely fantastic to watch consumers return and get to see each other after a three-month break,” said Vodec CEO Steve Hodapp.
In Urbandale, a small group of happy consumers did everything from Wii bowling to bingo. In Council Bluffs, Cares Program and prevocational consumers brought the joy and the buzz back to Vodec headquarters.
