A Senator, an author and an artist!

Hello Everyone and welcome to the Community Connections blog!

What a terrific day we have had. This afternoon we taped our eighth episode of our television program, Abilities United Presents: Community Connections. State Senator Joe Simitian was our first guest and he was wonderful! The Senator talked about the importance of volunteerism and how our participants are making a big impact on our community.

Claire Bohannon, an ILS participant was also a featured guest. Claire is a published author and she talked about the books she has written. She spoke very eloquently about how her Autism has really been a gift. Claire is a very talented young lady and it was terrific to showcase her work.

Terry Eagle, another ILS participant was our third guest. Terry crafts beautiful walking sticks from branches and he showed his work on camera. The walking sticks are incredible works of art and he hopes to help others with his work.

Needless to say, it was an incredible program. Our Abilities United participants have so much talent. It is time for the world to share in their gifts!

Stay tuned for a posting of scheduled air times for the program.

Thanks for reading!
