After looking through a list of various local businesses, who have all worked hard to help many members of the Eau Claire Community find and live better lives with physical disabilities and/or other injuries, we happened upon an Eau Claire Wisconsin Adult Family Home in Altoona, Wisconsin operated by Beth and Nathan Dietsche where disabled adult residents, traumatic brain injury residents in particular, have been able to live in a safe, family-oriented environment for the past couple years. In March, Dietsche Family Homes will celebrate their 2nd Anniversary as a licensed Wisconsin Adult Family Home and health care provider for Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the Greater Chippewa Valley Area.

The Holiday season, from Thanksgiving to Christmas and then into the New Year, has historically been a time of giving in the Chippewa Valley; this season has been no different. Beth and Nathan Dietsche operate a four bedroom Adult Family Home in Altoona, Wisconsin that provides a substantial living area for each of its residents. Each resident has their own private bedroom complete with cable television and private phone-line capabilities. In addition, their adult family home has a large kitchen area, homey living room, and a large outdoor deck. Their family-oriented living arrangements culminate with a large front and back yard with an organic garden where they plant and harvest vegetables throughout the summer and fall.

We were even able to have the unique opportunity of speaking with a couple of their residents. Each resident we spoke with seemed to both appreciate and enjoy the care they receive at Beth and Nathan Dietsche's Eau Claire Wisconsin Adult Family Home. This past Christmas each resident was able to enjoy a nice Christmas dinner and participate in gift-giving activities.

The 2008 Chippewa Valley Code Camp is coming to the Chippewa Valley Technical College on November 8, 2008.

Somehow web 2.0 technologies haven't quite been a hit in the Chippewa Valley as of yet. Perhaps it is for this reason that the folks at Capable Media have decided to create a new Social Network for Eau Claire Search Engine Optimizers. The social network has been set up over at http://capablemedia.ning.com and boasts their intentions to do the following:

Look forward to a new Live Music experience coming soon to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the surrounding Greater Chippewa Valley Area. Bands and Fans alike will be able to get together and interact socially at the new Social Network for Local Bands at http://www.eauclairebands.com/.
