Since the
opening of our first community residence in 1978, Continuing
Developmental Services (CDS) has become a leading service and employment
provider for individuals with developmental disabilities, in Upstate
NY.
We are celebrating this milestone, and embracing another 35
years with a new name, and vibrant brand to reflect the growth
and expansion of services we can proudly now offer our community.
Adding
“Monarch” to our name is a reflection of our own transition—as a
company—so that we can continue to meet the needs of individuals and
families. We’re celebrating 35 years of outreach and service; it seemed
fitting that we would take our brand, adapt it to our expanding services
to create a better representation of who we are, what we offer, and the
impact we have in this community. In addition to a new name for the
Agency, we will honor the vision of our founders, Mr. and Mrs. Lew Wolf,
by changing the name of the CDS Foundation to The Wolf Foundation.
The
new look will begin transitioning in immediately, with the CDS Monarch
name, a refreshed butterfly
logo— applied as a vibrant, abstract
mark—and new tagline, Celebrating the Everyday of Life,
which speaks clearly to the daily challenges many of our individuals are
faced with and continue to persevere.
There is nothing more
rewarding than empowering individuals to become happy, independent and
productive members of our community.
Come explore the opportunities and supports we have
available. At CDS Monarch, we are celebrating
the everyday of life.
Sincerely,
Mark S.
