Thank you Ameristar!
Ameristar employees volunteer with the clients of RI Industries at our Satellite Shop. Most recently they threw a Halloween party with costumes and pumpkin decorating for the 80 clients. 
In September, the Ameristar Cares team played games and served pizza on a nice fall day for the clients annual picnic. |

The Institute helping Veterans
and their Families
 Veterans, service members, families and caregivers attended a free day of education on Traumatic Brain Injuries and Polytrauma presented by The Rehabilitation Institute in conjunction with the Brain Injury Association.
 This informative day included presentations and several exhibitors to share available resources. The presentations focused on veterans returning home from the war understand how traumatic brain injury impacts every day life and families. They also had access to resources available through the Veterans Administration and in the civilian community. Dr. Terrie Price, Director of Neuropsychology and Family Services for the Rehabilitation Institute is pictured right giving her presentation. Dr. Price explained the functions of each part of the brain and the impact brain injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can have on those functions. |
Every Bird Deserves a Place to Call Home!
Clients at The Rehabilitation Institute RI Industries Sheltered Workshop on 12th and Troost are doing something to help our friendly outdoor neighbors. They make bird houses out of rescued wood, much of which comes from old barns. "I have a client doing measuring, a client sawing, a client putting the house together and a client putting the decorations on it," said Ervin Brewster, woodworking supervisor. If you are interested in seeing any bird houses, please call Lynda Pellerito at 816-751-7854.
