Good Things To Share

I have a couple pieces of exciting news to share:



The first is that I was asked to be one of three guest speakers at the Tri-Cities Celebration of Ability on December 3, 2010. I've been asked to speak about my experience as a Paralympic Torchbearer at the 2010 Games. If you are local and interested in attending, the event is FREE, but due to limited seating, you must register. (Click the link to get all the info and to register.)



The second lovely piece of news is that I received an email on Friday inviting me to participate in a new mixed media book that is in the works! It will hit the shelves some time in 2012. I've already begun working on my submissions.



I am very honoured to be asked to participate in these kinds of things. It never gets old and I enjoy the ways that things like this challenge me-I always learn something new.



Okay, that's it for the moment. I have a ton of work waiting for me in the studio!

PSA: Corporate Sponsors Needed!

Do you know a local socially responsible business that supports diversity and inclusion? The Tri-Cities 10 by 10 Challenge is seeking corporate sponsorship to making the first ever Tri-Cities Celebration of Ability a reality. In recognition of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd, 2010, we will be hosting a local event to celebrate the contributions that people with disabilities have made in our local community, with a focus on the employment achievements and community leadership.



Join with us, as members of our community share their inspiring stories and abilities, along with a screening of a short documentary and a music performance.
