“Throw a stone into the stream and the ripples that propagate themselves are the beautiful type of influence.”Ralph Waldo Emmerson
During these last few weeks we have been reviewing and reflecting through evaluation the importance of the work that we are doing together. During our discussions we have had the occasion to use the analogy of the ripple in the pond to explain our essences and importance in the way we work.
This time, is like all times is a very good one, if we know what to do with it
THIS JUST IN FROM SELF ADVOCATES OF THE ROCKIES
This past December CLBC announced that there was grant money available to Self Advocate groups from across the Province to run a project to help keep Advocates connected. It was voted on by the SAOR that we should apply for the grant. We worked hard on our application and sent it in to CLBC by the deadline. The application was accepted, and we moved on to the next step. We then had a zoom interview with Jessica and Brianne from CLBC to give them more information on our ideas for the grant money. The week before Christmas we received some great news, we were one of the groups chosen to receive grant money and put our ideas into action!
