“Travel is fatal to prejudice.”
– Mark Twain

SDRC is the starting point to determine eligibility for you or a loved one to receive services. Matthew Storey is the President of the SDRC Board.
#1 I grew up in Long Beach and Murrieta California.
#2 My hobbies include fishing, hiking, and basketball. I also make the best ribs you have ever had.
#3 “A Confederacy of Dunces” is one of my favorite books. There is a humor you can find in the hypocrisy of the protagonist that seems more relevant today than when the book was written.
#4 “Three Amigos” is the best movie. My friends and I watch it at least once a year and constantly are quoting from it.
#5 Traveling to Egypt, Turkey, and Japan are at the top of my list of places I hope to visit.
#6 My favorite travel destination is anywhere in the Sierra Mountains. I would really like to hike the Pacific Crest Trail with my boys in one go. We have done small parts, but it would be great to do the whole thing.
#7 I think it is important to help those around you. By doing so, you create a community, and without question you meet the best people.
#8 I was asked by another Board Member If I wanted to join SDRC, and it was an easy yes. Regional Center has been a part of my family’s life since I was little. I think it would be hard to find an organization that more directly impacts people in such a positive way.
#9 SDRC provides a variety of services to persons with developmental disabilities and their families. Services are based on the client’s individual needs and intended to maximize their independence, full potential, and quality of life.
#10 The SDRC 4th Annual Resource Fair is on Saturday, September 26 and is for the benefit of the people we serve with developmental disabilities and their families. It is FREE to the public. The Resource Fair is a unique event featuring booths from local organizations, service providers, and community partners. Attendees will experience on-site information, interactive activities, breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect directly with valuable support systems.
