Charles SmartHome residents Gerald and Donna have a lot going on: they are getting married soon and have moved into an amazing new home together. Gerald and Donna have limited resources for their big wedding day and so Twisted Pine Brewing Company donated 30% of their profits from Sunday, June 21, to the couple.

In his art class, Gerald is working on creating “Peace Poles” to be placed in front of several of Imagine!’s buildings.  Peace Poles are handcrafted monuments erected the world over as international symbols of Peace. Their purpose is to spread the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in a different language, one on each side.

Due to a lack of educational tools and severe physical limitations, Gerald never had the opportunity to learn how to read or write. Now, at the age of 47, he is beginning to complete full sentences and write emails using a communication device and computer interface.
