INARF is pleased to announce that this year we have invested in a Conference App with many features we hope will enhance the conference experience. Attendees will be able to view the entire schedule, build a personal agenda by selecting the sessions they are interested in attending, read bios for each speaker, see other sessions where they may be presenting, learn about the exhibitors, identify who's who among our conference sponsors, and better yet, create a profile to connect with other conference attendees. And, the App is environmentally friendly because attendees can view the handouts for any session and always be prepared to follow along if session selections change on site.
On February 25, Passages, Inc. held its first Spotlight Avenue performance at their Creative Learning Center in Columbia City. This year’s production, entitled Waiting......is the hardest part, included 10 individuals performing what they described as “a story about the struggles and trials of waiting and all the emotions that come with it.” The performance included several scenes, musical numbers, and skits performed to tell the story of going to see a new exhibit at the zoo, obstacles that require them to wait during this trip, and learning to overcome these obstacles.
Last month, nineteen Four Rivers Self-Advocates and Staff participated in a Valentine's Day at the Statehouse event sponsored by The Arc of Indiana.

Several Self-Advocates had the opportunity to pose for pictures with Governor Mike Pence, Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, Rep. Jeff Ellington, and Senator Mark Messmer.
