Reaching Out to Families of People who have IDD

Hello Everyone,

I'm passing on some great info about a couple of seminars regarding folks with IDD.

I hope you find it useful and I hope some will be able to attend!

Hi Lisa,


I am thrilled that we have you as an avenue to help us create a way to reach out to family members of individuals who have IDD. I am attaching two flyers: one is an informational flyer regarding the Regional Support Team and includes a listing of the 36 counties we serve.

 The second flyer is regarding the "Celebrating Direct Support Professionals" seminar that is coming up on September 8th in San Antonio. People who receive IDD services and their paid and unpaid supports are welcome to attend. We have received donations to cover lunch and refreshments, and each participant will be able to identify an exemplary direct support professional whose name will be included in multiple drawings for gift cards!  The deadline for registration is noon Friday, September 2nd, so please
spread the word as quickly as possible. (I wish I would have sent this information several weeks ago.)




Let's make great things happen!

Arc of the Hill Country at Rio Raft Resort this Saturday, Aug.20, 2016 RSVP NOW!! ~~~~~~

Hello Everyone,

We hope the rains have left you high and dry!   Looks like there may be more rain this weekend, tho it may

be later in the day on Saturday!!  Bummer!

   With all this rain,  the river may well be closed for tubes!!  Another bummer!!

Safety is a must! 

But, they  have a wonderful place out there to sit and relax, watch the river roll by, play outside

games,  have a cook out and swim in the huge swimming pool!

So we hope you join us out there!  No refunds, so we will be there!   Will you?

We will start getting there at 10 am.  Set up, get the grill ready and then relax!

Lunch will be at 1pm, burgers, dogs, drinks and what ever else we all bring.

Please RSVP NOW because we are shopping tomorrow for the burgers, and we want you to have

one!

Register at the office and they'll point you to the  party room.

See you Saturday!!

on it!   One big meal, so we can all enjoy the day and not spend it grilling burgers, cooking or cleaning!

We need help to put this on!!  Can you please help? We need someone to grill the burgers!  Some to help serve, help clean up help make sure everyone is having fun and being safe!! We want us all to be able to enjoy ourselves, so help is needed!!!

Come early, stay late,  bring the family and enjoy the beautiful resort!! Bring your tubes, rafts and anything else you need for a fun, summer day!

The resort charges  $6.00 per person.  Then you have access to the river

 and the huge swimming pool.   The acres of shaded areas to play games,

or just relax!!

For those who have already RSVP'd,   thank you!!    The list is growing! Make sure you are on it!!
