My good friend and mentor Charlie Dixon, MS, CTRS of Morgantown, West Virginia has been operating the Therapeutic Recreation Directory online since November 1995. This site has been up and running for 16 years.
Charlie had written in his (March 28, 2011) e-newsletter that he is preparing for the 2-millionth visitor at the TR Directory Web-Site.
Wow! That is amazing. His site the TR Directory receives over 23,000 visitors per month. His site was one of the first web-sites I discovered during my freshmen year in undergraduate school (1999) when I was looking for more information on the profession.
The TR Direcotry offers many neat things, here are a few of my favorites:
a.) Rec. Therapy forum – which is really neat. I wish more people would use it. b.) Rec. Therapy store -- books and clothing! c.) Career posts -- many jobs are posted. d.) Resources galore – activity ideas, history of the profession, pictures, conference calendar and more.
Congratulations Charlie and thanks for everything you do to help promote our profession.
I’d like to give you an unofficial “Rec. Therapy Advocate of the Year” award!
Your friend, Danny.
