the central Oklahoma area. The Forum is a chance for future legislators to learn what issues are important to people with disabilities and professionals in the field of disability services. It is also a chance to find out where candidates stand on these
issues. The event is being held on Saturday, July 23<sup>rd</sup> and is open to all. More information follows, and a flyer is attached.
