[Community-Service] Service Is Where The Heart Is

[Maggie Stringer]

The 2nd Annual Southeastern Ohio Center for Independent Living, Cornhole
Tournament will be held on Saturday, May 13th and I can't wait!

It's an opportunity for consumers, their families, and local community
members to come out and show their support for the S.O.C.I.L. Adaptive
Sports Program with several fun cornhole games and tournaments, lots of
exciting prizes, a delicious grilled lunch, many unique door prizes, and so
much more.

To put together a magnificent event like this one, it takes an incredible
amount of teamwork, a good deal of community sponsorships, and many
committed volunteers.

Sometimes, when a person is living with a disability, the general public or
even the people we know, will treat us as though they know our abilities
better than we do, and will try to place limitations on our capabilities!

If you don't know, allow me to give you the know!

I am totally blind, partially deaf, and presently six months pregnant. And
I was most certainly not going to be overlooked as one of the, let's roll
up our sleeves and get to work, volunteers.

I signed up to serve last year, and was determined to work in the kitchen
again this year.

My responsibility started this evening with the task of individually
wrapping a few hundred hot dog and hamburger buns in aluminum foil.

Not a problem! Turned up my jams, set up my work station, baby boy was
dancing around in the womb, and I started to wrap away!

The Community Service Division believes in you! And we believe service is
where the heart is!

Roll up those sleeves, and serve, TODAY!!!

dogs and hamburger buns.)
