We have missed blogging for the past few A!TLC sessions and thought that we would throw you a line to get you back in the loop!
If you ever wondered what everyone at the A!TLC looks like wearing red, you can stop wondering now. December 1st is World AIDS Day and Student Researcher Kennen Dorgan snapped this shot (while appearing in the shot herself!) last week as the A!TLC wore red to help raise HIV/AIDS awareness. Following the picture, most everyone returned to GREEN to support our own Riders. ;) WHATTA WIN!
The 26th was our final rendezvous (for now!) with some awesome Douglas Park Students. This last visit (we went to them) had us cooking and crafting and trying out their new sensory room. The room was managed to be extremely stimulating and soothing all at the same time. We at the A!TLC give it a rave review! Thanks again for having us, Douglas Park.
Yesterday, we popped into the CKHS 185 class to join Kin. students Jenny and Chelsea to help them hand out Menchie's flyers - remember that if you head to Menchie's Rochdale next week (Dec 1 - 7) and show the flyer, A! will receive 20% of the proceeds. Win, win, win! We are gearing up for the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities and if you happen to be at the University from 1:00 - 4:00 on December 3rd, swing by the Riddell Centre to pay us a visit. We will have a table set up filled with A! information, coffee, cookies....We will also have a communication book set up for you to (anonymously or not!) record any questions about disability or our organization that YOU may have.
Today is a big day! Not only do we have our favorite, Inclusion cafe, but we have Kennen's PATH celebration. We at the A!TLC are so excited to rally around Kennen as she sets some important goals for herself. It is going to be WONDERFUL!
And, birthdays! We would like to wish the lovely Brenda MacLauchlan a very happy belated birthday (it was yesterday!) and the excellent Jasmine Gerein a very happy early birthday (she turns the wise old age of 23 on Monday!). Good people that we would like to celebrate. Thank you for being born!
That's it for now. We hope that you feel back in the loop and look forward to posting more updates ASAP.
Thanks for reading!
