I was able to participate in the Trunk O Treats event at the Moose on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023. Special Needs Advocacy 419 group hosted this event.

I was able to participate in the Hancock ESC Trunk or Treat event at the Marathon Performing Arts on Sat. Oct. 14, 2023. I almost ran out of candy and non edible items because there were so many who attended this event!

 

I had so much fun face painting at Addaptco’s Fall Fest on Sat., Oct. 7, 2023!

I had a lot of fun making balloon animals at the Liberty Township Family event on Sat., Sept. 26, 2023.

I was able to participate at the Hancock County Health Fair at the University of Findlay on Sat., Sept. 16, 2023.

I was only able to participate at the Flag City National Night Out for a short time because I didn’t feel well.  It’s always a very busy, but an exciting event.

I participated in the United Way’s resource fair at the McComb Cookie Fest on Sat., July 22, 2023. I endured an hour downpour, but survived!  I packed up and was able to enjoy some of the festivities (after the rain), enjoyed some food, and a specialty coffee drink that I bought from local vendors. I’d say it was a success. 🙂

I’ve been presenting at CIT-Crisis Intervention Trainings twice a year for several years now.  I share life as a parent who has a child with special needs who deals with multiple conditions and diagnoses.  Therefore it makes for a very complex life.  I share details of my story along with ways to help a special needs person in a crisis situation.  Because of this complex life, I have become very good at handling many different issues. My next presentation will be on Thurs., Nov. 16, 2023 (update: CIT was cancelled will resume in the Spring).
