Disability Matters
Share your story with your Iron Range Legislators and the Capitol!
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 5:30 PM
Rustic Rock Chop House
301 Hat Trick Avenue, Eveleth
Hors d’oeuvres will be served
Let your legislators know how their work in St. Paul affects Iron Range children and adults with disabilities. Hear what they think will be happening in the new session. The economic downturn will not be going away soon and legislators will have to make some tough choices.
We need to help them by providing useful information. Come and share:
• Success Stories; Many community services can, and do, work!
• Your ideas for cost savings and/or getting rid of red tape
• The programs that you can’t live without
• The economic impact of community-based services and the jobs provided in communities all over
the Range
• What’s working in Education, and how Special Education funding and programs affect you and your
family
• What Personal Care Attendant cuts mean to your family
• The effect of waiting lists
• Your issues with Health and Dental Care
If possible, please come with your stories written, so our legislators can take your words back to St. Paul. Share the circumstances of your needs, describe services and how they are funded, the consequences or impact of losing services or funding, and describe possible solutions.
The event is free, but you must REGISTER in order to attend.
CALL Diane at 218-750-1251 to register.
