[Jayhawk-chapter] Seminar Cancelled

Thanks, Susan.  How sad that what should be one of our most valuable resources in Lawrence (VR) seems to be permanently closed for remodeling.  But I'm delighted you will have a party of three, with baked beans, at the picnic.  See you there.  Sidney

Hi, Sidney: I think you are right.  I’ve known the district supervisor in question for a number of years and he does NOT like change, as it threatens his ability to be in control of what’s happening with his counselors.  He also doesn’t like grassroots advocacy. BTW,  There will be three in our party on Saturday and I am bringing my baked beans.See you Saturday!Susan From: Jayhawk-chapter [mailto:jayhawk-chapter-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of shroedel at sunflower.com

What a shame -- I'm sure a good deal of planning effort has gone in to this seminar.  I think indifference = reluctance to tackle the subject.  Thanks for your work on this.

Sidney

Subject: [Jayhawk-chapter] Seminar CancelledGood evening Jayhawk federationists, I regret to have to tell you the collaborative strategies seminar scheduled for Tuesday, June 11 has been cancelled. The news came to me via Donna Wood who informed me of this unfortunate development in a telephone call this evening. This decision was driven by an attitude of complacency and indifference  at the district management level in the ranks of Kansas Rehab Services, who was willing only to send VR counselors from nearby KRS offices. It was determined by the executive committee of our state affiliate board that going ahead with the seminar with five or frewr VR counselors attending would not have been an efficient utilization of resources. It should be noted we were offering this very powerful employment networking seminar free of charge to the state of Kansas, and this makes this attitude of indifference at the mid management level very puzzling to say the very least. IN any event, You have your day back now, so I’ll see you at the picnic at Centennial Park next Saturday.Best regards,Rob
