December 2024

MASS Flash Newsletter

December is here!

From everyone at MASS, we hope you all have a fun and safe holiday season with your loved ones!

With helping create the R3 app with DPPC, ongoing A&A and SALS trainings, multiple presentations that Pauline has given throughout the year, continued work with the Office of Violence Against Women, and attending the Western and PYD conferences along with hosting our own annual conference, we have been involved in a lot this year!

We also want to highlight the awards that Pauline earned this year -- not just the award created in her name at this year's conference, but also the Creating Community Together Award from ASAN!

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to MASS, so that we can continue to promote advocacy to the I/DD community!

Kamisha's Corner

Hey everyone Kamisha here, my colleagues and I from Mass Advocates Standing Strong wanted to take this opportunity to say to everyone around the world, happy holidays!

We are so grateful for each and every one of you and all your continuous and ongoing support you have given to us through the years.

We couldn’t have done this without you!

May the new year bring you love, peace, joy, and happiness! Most importantly, give you everything you ever asked for and more!

Just curious, what is everybody’s favorite movie they like to watch during the holiday season?!
