Two plus years ago we did a few calls on relocating, downsizing, re-sizing, and re-organizing our homes.  Let’s see how well that has worked for us.  Is

that guest bedroom working out doubling as your home office? Now that we are living with COVID rather than isolating and quarantining quite so much, are those changes working for you? Are there still changes you want to make?  Do you have more or less clutter now than before?  What is next on your “to do” list?  Bring your questions and ideas. We will also have some special announcements before we end tonight.

abilities, banded together, pushed many employment and advocacy envelopes, and celebrated victories in their communities.  There groups of advocates and friends usually unite once a year on a state-wide basis.
