Letter from the Director
Message from the Executive Director,
Happy New Year! Welcome to the January edition of Wheel World News. It's hard to believe that 2018 is upon us. A new year always brings about the opportunity to reflect on the past and to look forward to the future. The New Year is a chance to start fresh, a time to set goals or to make changes. We have many things to look forward to in 2018 at AZSCIA and we hope you will join us at our upcoming community events.
We are kicking off the year with another Bingo Night. To read more about this event, please read page 2. The Spring 2018 Series of "Living Healthy with SCI" starts this month with, “Eating to Thrive Not Just Survive” with Marian Mitchell. This is the rescheduled class from November.
Check out the details on pages 8-9 .
This month for our "Consumer Corner" segment, we are highlighting our very own Karen Halgren. Be sure to check out pages 10-13 to read her empowering story. We have a new section in our newsletter, "Professional Profile", where we will be highlighting a different professional that works within the SCI community. Jill Sclease is our professional for January. Be sure to read how she contributes to the community on pages 14-16.
This newsletter is packed full of great information, we hope you enjoy reading it.
