Organization Highlights, By Steve Mallory Steve urges all members to become certified mentors. He discusses the
email link, which has been added to the message board this month. Emails
are available to members. The first Chat 101 session was held. We are
reminded of the Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser scheduled for October 1.

If you have major mobility problems you may want to vote
absentee. If you plan on visiting the polls check out the handicap
accessibility ahead of time. In many cases poll judges will bring a
ballot to your car if you are unable to access the polling place. In
any case, make preparations early.
Voting is a privilege. It is important that handicapped citizens
make their voices heard.

Just what is FAQ? I've seen it on the Internet several times but
I've never understood what it stood for. What is FAQ and why does
our organization have these letters? FAQ is an acronym for

people are going to ask if they want to know about your web site and

Our organization has a FAQ in order to give you some background
information and insight into our organization. The FAQ is linked
from virtually every single page on our whole web site. If you
scroll down the page and look on the left column you will see a
button with a question mark. Click on the button and you will be
hyperlinked to our FAQ web page.
You will learn about the formation of our organization and it's
history. You can find out who are our partners and learn about our
