New Member of the McHenry Team!

McHenry welcomes our NEW Site Coordinator...

 

Jean Boyle

I am so very excited to join the GiGi’s Playhouse Family, I feel very lucky to be part of an organization that does such wonderful work.  My past experience working with adults with multiple disabilities in a vocational setting will hopefully help me to be able to spread awareness on how GiGi’s Playhouse can make a difference. I look forward to meeting everyone in the near future.

Welcome Jean! We are just as excited to have you join us! You can meet Jean by stopping by the McHenry Playhouse Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
