[Ohio-Talk] Great news thanks.

[Jordy D. Stringer]

Richard and All, it is with great satisfaction I affixed  my name to the check that you received on behalf of the Southeastern Ohio Center for Independent Living. I know better  than most the cost and commitment it takes to attend state conventions. I know this contribution doesn’t allow everyone the opportunity, but I truly believe the first experience an individual has with this great organization is one that will stick with them forever. I recall with great fondness  my very first convention in 2008 in Dallas Texas. It laid the foundation for everything that’s happening career wise  for me today. The Independent living program here in the state of Ohio six to engage our communities in ways we never have before. I’m so excited that our contribution will be used in such a meaningful and powerful way.
 I very much look forward to sharing future information that I believe our community will find of particular interest. Stay tuned, until then, 


Jordy D. Stringer
Executive Director, Southeastern Ohio Center for Independent Living
