Scenes from grand opening ceremonies of the Hilltop Day Care Center. A warm welcome was extended to those attending the ribbon cutting ceremonies at the new Hilltop Day Care Center on October 25, 1968. The center was designed to help the mentally retarded children of the Hilltop neighborhood through a $15,000 state grant from the Epton Foundation. Open since September 1st, official dedication ceremonies were held at the Trinity United Presbyterian property on 6th & Grant. Present at the head table were City Manager David Rowlands (extreme left), Hilltop Multi-Service Center director Herman Walker (4th from right), Tacoma Mayor A.L. Rasmussen (seated next to Walker). Also seated at the head table were Dr. and Mrs. William Conte, director of the Washington State Department of Institutions. Addressing the crowd is believed to be Marguerite Cousins, director of the center. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc.
