Dinner with a Champion
Player Coach Father Gene Stallings
Saturday, March 23, 2013
Arabella Manor in Longview
RSVP by March 15, 2013
Community Healthcore Foundation welcomes Gene Stallings to our 2013 Dinner with a Champion. Coach Stallings played college football for Texas A&M under the legendary Bear Bryant as one of the "Junction Boys". Stallings then began his coaching career in 1958 as an assistant under Bear Bryant at Alabama. His first head coaching job came at the age of 29 at Texas A&M. He coached the Aggies for seven seasons, winning a Southwest Conference title in 1967. Stallings was hired by Tom Landry in 1972 as a secondary coach for the Dallas Cowboys. In 1986, he was named the head coach of the Cardinals, then in St. Louis, where he coached for three seasons.
Stallings later returned to the University of Alabama in 1990. In his third year, Stallings coached the Crimson Tide to a National Championship after defeating Miami in the Sugar Bowl, 34-13. In six years at Alabama, Stallings compiled a 62-25 record. Coach Stallings has inspired many with his off-the-field support of individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities, and will always be remembered for putting his family first.

2013 Disability Policy Seminar
Every day millions of Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities are impacted by the public policy decisions - big and small -- made by their representatives in Congress. And each year, hundreds of advocates attend the Disability Policy Seminar in Washington, D.C. to learn more about and discuss the hottest topics in disability public policy. This seminar is an opportunity to advance the grassroots movement for people with I/DD and make sure your elected officials know what's important to you. Two days of informative in-depth sessions from disability policy experts and opportunities to network with others from your state will culminate in a third day starting off with breakfast on Capitol Hill before you personally meet with your elected representatives and their staffs.
*Washington, D.C.

Need a TTY?
In the past, persons who are Deaf communicated on the telephone by typing on a TTY (teletypewriter). Now most use videophone or texting devices. TTYs are becoming obsolete, but there might be a rare occasion for a business or individual to own one. Several have been donated to my office. Please contact me if you would like to have one at no cost. Melissa Bell, Deafness Resource Specialist, mbell@c-s-d.org, 903-534-1222. |
Schools Must Provide Students with Disabilities Equal Access to Extracurricular Sports
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has issued guidance on the legal responsibilities of school districts to provide equal access to extracurricular athletic activities to students with disabilities. The letter urges school districts to work with community organizations to increase athletic opportunities, and provides examples of types of reasonable accommodations schools may need to make. Students with disabilities have the right, under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, to an equal opportunity to participate in their schools' extracurricular activities.
