Employee of the Month
Meet our October Employee of The Month, Estie Moore!
Estie is the Hero House Day Hab Coordinator. Estie comes to work each day with a positive attitude and gives 100% to the members and staff. She always goes above and beyond to make sure the Hero House is successful and that members are having fun, cared for, loved and safe. Estie is a long time employee of The Arc and very knowledgeable about our organization. She is often sought after for advice and ideas to make our programs better.
In the month of October, Estie organized several fun activities for our members including a charity walk called the White Cane Event, a variety of special guests, as well as one of our largest events to the Texas State Fair. Her help in planning and organizing the State Fair trip was one of the reasons why all the members, staff, and volunteers had an amazing time.
She continuously dedicates her time and energy to our organization. The Arc of Wichita County is very grateful to have employees like Estie Moore.
Thank You Estie for all you do!!
