CRJ’s Annual Spring Reception a Success!

04/12/2012 - We want to thank everyone who joined us in honoring James T. Brett. The Red Lantern was a perfect venue choice for this year’s event and the food and service were simply fantastic!

This year’s event highlighted the work of CRJ’s Community Strategies; the division that provides individuals with mental illness or mental retardation, severe psychiatric or intellectual and developmental disabilities, or complex medical needs with specialized residential or community-based services. The event featured a fabulous silent auction, delicious Asian cuisine, and a video tribute to Jim Brett.

We were proud to honor Jim for his many contributions to our community. The president and chief executive officer of the New England Council, Jim has made many contributions in the fields of intellectual disabilities and criminal justice - both areas being central to the mission of CRJ.
