Greetings!
Today is Friday the 13th! I hope you are not superstitious! I find it to be my lucky day...once in high school on Friday the 13th I found a wallet with $100 in it! I now call Friday the 13th "my lucky day". I guess it is all the way you look at it!
Which brings me to... the way our legislators will look at our issues if we can Rally together on January 8th at our budget hearings! We want them to see the number of people with disabilities who live in the community and what the reality of the waiting list for services looks like! They need to look at us! Mark your calendars for Jan 8, 2010. (see information below)
Sincerely,
For more events and happenings in our area go to "R" calendar sponsored in part by CareFax, LTC:
