Voice of Albertans with Disabilities (VAD) is hosting a BBQ and silent auction on June 6th from 12-2 p.m. It will take place in Borden Park (Site 6). To RSVP for the event you can call 780-488-9088 or e-mail vad@vadsociety.ca. 

I have written about VAD previously. It is a well-needed support agency. I was proud to have been a board member for four years, then spent two years as an advisor. Information can be found at vadsociety.ca.

From VAD's website:

Since 1973, Voice of Albertans with Disabilities has been a provincial, cross disability organization of individuals with physical, mental, sensory, learning and intellectual disabilities. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities through our efforts, services and programs. Over the years we have consulted and collaborated with like-minded organizations on many important projects that impact the daily lives of individuals with disabilities. All over the province, people with disabilities are making their voices heard and Voice of Albertans with Disabilities is an enthusiastic partner in this movement.

Join VAD at the event and enjoy the warmer months!
