Action: Volunteering in the church choir and in a school to help children with disabilities and their parents and attending a Special Needs Expo

Submitted by:  Lillianne Goeders

"I have recently joined the choir at my church.  There are several young adults who come to choir from Marbridge and there is at least one foster child (I think that she is 14) with minor special needs in the choir.  I have made it a mission to spend extra time with two of the members with special needs. I also attended [a school's] Special Needs Expo on Saturday.  I met many of the parents whose children attend [the school] and who have special needs children.  I am also working with the Special Needs Director [at the school] to analyze community needs for future events."
