Another Competition!

Hello everybody!

Did anybody enter the United Access contest yet? If you already have–good luck!!! If you haven’t–you should!!! If you have no idea what I’m talking about–read February’s newsletter and/or the last blog post! 🙂

I have another opportunity for you guys, too. As you know, October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Every year, the Texas Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities produces posters for this month and they are having a competition to get the poster design this year! More information is available at http://governor.state.tx.us/disabilities/ndeam/ndeam_poster/. Here’s last year’s winner:

The deadline is March 15th, so get crack-a-lacking!

 

Bonus points to whoever knows what cartoon zebra I was imitating with that last word… 🙂

The purpose of this month is to help create awareness and education about disabilities. National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association as well as sponsored by United Access, BraunAbility, Vantage Mobility International, and Bruno Independent Living Aids have come together to create a campaign that helps to celebrate people with disabilities and their loved ones. If you would like to submit a story about how your life or the life of someone you know was affected by a disability and how you/they have overcome these challenges, you could win a customized wheelchair accessible vehicle!

Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂

Your Opinion Matters!

As the announcement of 2013 camp dates nears, lets take a second to reflect on 2012!

Meagan (one of our beloved interns) has sent out some surveys to campers. We would all appreciate if you could take a few minutes to fill them out! I promise they are being read and everything you say will be taken into account as we create our game plan for this year! If you came to camp in 2012 and did NOT get a survey, leave a comment or e-mail me and I’ll get one sent to you!

Thank you, darlings!!!
