March Is Disabilities Awareness Month
The theme of Disability Awareness Month 2008 is “Attitude is Everything.”
The poster features a group of teenagers playing a game of pick-up football. The poster illustrates the theme by showing the “tough” attitude required during a competitive football game, as well as the fun participants have when they play together.
The text of the poster reads, “When you champion a winning attitude for yourself and your team, you can achieve anything.”

I was recently listening to one of the consumers at Peak Community Services who was speaking at a tour being conducted at our agency.
She proudly declared that she was a “self-advocate.”
Advocacy is a continuing need for Peak Community Services. Advocacy comes in many forms and can have a positive impact on the organization and the lives of those who choose our services. I will summarize the different types of advocacy, and then extend an invitation for you to become an advocate.
Ashley is the daughter of Barry and Dawn Jones. She has a younger sister named Sadie and an older brother named Ryan.
Marissa is the daughter of Clifford McClain and Joy and Greg Scott. She has a twin sister named Mallory and a younger brother named Brayton.
By the time the newsletter goes to press, there will be six women living in this home. This home is a blessing not only to these women, but to their families, who can now enjoy an adult relationship with their adult children.
There are several long-time bowlers that travel from Winamac to Logansport every Thursday afternoon. So we decided to ask these bowlers a few questions to see what the draw was.
What do you like most about bowling? This drew a variety of responses, from liking to hit the pins, giving them something to do in the evening, and for the bowlers who go to win, “I like trying to make a strike.”
Look Out! Here I Come!
