Community Living Dedication Ceremony Set for May 12th
Room to be named in memory of local businessman
William “Bill” E. Hoffman
Community Living, Inc., a St. Charles County-based not-for-profit agency, announced plans to name an area of its administrative office in memory of William “Bill” E. Hoffman. Before his untimely death in January 2005, Mr. Hoffman was an active and generous supporter of Community Living’s programs and services for people with disabilities.
In 2003, Community Living, Inc., used the services of Bill Hoffman and the Hoffman Construction Company to build its new headquarters building. The building would house the administration offices, Recreation Services and Employment Services programs, and much-needed meeting and training rooms. Through Mr. Hoffman’s expertise and generosity, CLI’s long-time dream of owning a fully accessible headquarters became a reality.
In addition to his work on the headquarters building, Bill Hoffman was an active participant in a variety of special events to help raise funds to support Community Living’s programs. Whenever and wherever he was needed, Bill Hoffman was always ready to help.
“If you would ask for help, he was there. He never knew the word “no”, and always had good things to say about everyone. Bill was one special person”, said Jerry Scheidegger, long-time friend and speaker at the Hoffman dedication.
In recognition of Mr. Hoffman’s many significant contributions to the agency, Community Living is proud to remember him as the namesake of the primary meeting room in the building he constructed. The Dedication Ceremony is set to take place on Thursday, May 12, 2005, at 6:45 p.m., at the Community Living, Inc., headquarters building. The building is located at 1040 St. Peters-Howell Road, St. Peters.
