Network’s Advocacy Group

On April 6th the Smart Group,(Advocacy Group) created vision boards! Vision boards are a great way to manifest the future. Everyone cut images out of magazines that represent something they would like to have in the upcoming year. Many of our indi-viduals bring the vision boards to their annual IP’s to share with their team. This is becoming a tradition for the Smart Group as it is their 2nd year creating them.

Imagine everything you need, all under one roof! For more than 30 years, Abilities Expo has been the go-to source for the Community of people with disabilities, their families, seniors, veterans and healthcare professionals. Every event opens your

eyes to new technologies, new possibilities, new solutions and new opportunities to change your life. Where else can you

discover ability-enhancing prod-ucts and services, play a few adaptive sports, learn new dance moves, attend informative workshops and only scratch the surface of what Abilities Expo has to offer? Mickie Bettencourt and Erin Wojick attended a great expo in New Jersey and got some great ideas on possible purchases and upcoming special events for our DSO Day Pro-

gram participants and residents.

Two of the outdoor furniture pieces pur-chased with the grant from Bolles Motors at The Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association.for use in our Andover DSO Day Program.
