Volunteer Shout-Out!
FND relies on the help of volunteers to fulfill our mission. Our volunteers are passionate about
helping the disability community and provide
valuable assistance to get the job done.  We will be highlighting some of our MVV's (Most Valuable Volunteers) over the next several months.

Kartheek Erukulla is one such volunteer.



 Kartheek has been volunteering at Family Network on Disabilities for almost one year.  He is a fantastic instructor with computer knowledge and skills that he has put to use in developing a technology training plan for FND staff.  We strive to use technology to reach as many families as possible in the way that is most convenient for them and Katheek has helped is helping us do that.
