A Note from us

Hi Everyone-


I have a couple of things to tell you about. The first is I received an email from the Indiana Ballet Company offering free ballet tickets to the performance "Love Spring Eternal" at the Tobias Theatre at Newfields on February 15, 2024 @7:30pm. If you would like tickets please email sheripaaci@yahoo.com and let me know how many tickets you need.


Next, the Beckman Institute at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has a new study called the "Speech Accessibility Project" to help speech recognition tools understand diverse voices. You can record your speech from home and earn up to $180/$90 for caregivers. For more info: 1-888-309-6499 or speechaccessibility@beckman.illinois.edu


And lastly, don't forget the Walk at the Fashion mall is this coming Sunday, January 28th at 2pm (see info to the left).


Please have a safe and warm weekend from Sheri, John & the PAACI Board!
