A Trip to Cordoba
By participants Ruth Kamba and Cheryl Adamson
Don Ison and seven friends went to Cordoba, Argentina in 2007. (Argentina is known as the best wing-shooting destination in the world and the eared doves are signature species.) In four days they hunted doves and there is no season or limit on doves.
The hotel is actually a large house. The employees wear gaucho clothing and the food and pastries are superb.
During the hunt they break for lunch and the employees go to the woods and set the tables and chairs to prepare the delicious food along with good wine. Then it is fiesta time in a hammock.
In the evening after hunting, the men enjoyed a massage after walking all day. Don Ison had a great time! |

There have been news stories lately in the Dallas area, involving people with aphasia that police officers and dispatchers have mistaken as being drunk. One of our HARC volunteers, Linda, had a great suggestion that many of our participants have adopted. We are calling it A.C.T.or Aphasia Community Taskforce. Linda will be our Captain and other participants will go in teams of 2 to businesses and talk about what aphasia is and how it impacts our abilities. We hope to visit Police Departments, Fire stations, EMS, stores, restaurants, etc. and inform them about aphasia. A.C.T. will also designate our "HARC Hero of the Month" once a month and recognize them on our website! These will be people or businesses that have joined our task force in a positive and noteworthy way. |
