Creating a Community of Belonging Together | |
You are vital to the Community Living Movement.
Creating a community of belonging for people with and without disabilities takes each of us. Together, we can strengthen inclusion and create a sense of belonging, so everyone can thrive.
I invite you to get involved during Community Living Month in May. Please mark your calendars for these exciting events to celebrate our collective achievements and actions:
-
May 1 – Shine a Light on Community Living
-
May 5 – Community Living Flag Raising
-
May 30 – Silent Disco Dance Party
You will find more details on these events in this newsletter. Each one will provide opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. I encourage you to participate and make the most of them.
Thank you for being an essential part of the movement. Together, we are making a difference. I look forward to celebrating Community Living Month with you.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Willett
