HCBDD Community Integration Newsletter January, 2021

JANUARY, 2021 HCBDD Community Integration Newsletter PAGE 2

Hello Everyone!

2020 is history! December was a time for traditions and a time to get together with

family and friends. We hope you made the best of this time safely. 2021 is here! We

can look forward with anticipation to the events which the new year might bring. Eve-

ryone has embraced the challenges of the past year, and we have found ways to con-

nect and keep busy. We look forward to new beginnings with online and in-person

gatherings within the next year! Look for updates on activities and new online con-

tent. Anyone can join our online events, but as we hopefully move towards in-person

activities, make sure you fill out your Recreation forms and return them to the office!

New adventures are around the corner. Happy New Year!

The Rec Team ~~ Pat, Rebecca, and Therese

Congrats to Daniel !!!! Daniel I. Is stepping up to help the Self Advocacy

Club as Vice President! He has been active in HCBDD Rec events and even ran a bible study

group independently for a short while. He has been a huge help in combating loneliness and isolation during these COVID-19 times. Keep up the great

work and thank you!

Welcome 2021!!!

Congratulations! We made it through 2020. I know this has been a very difficult year for everyone. I am so glad that many of you were able to use your Self Advocate Skills to get through this time. We have learned to communicate through Facebook and Zoom. We have attended many statewide meetings virtually. We have meet new friends that hopefully we will get the opportunity to meet in per-son as the year progresses. We have used mes-senger and phone calls to keep in touch. As diffi-cult as this has been, I think that we are all strong-er for the skills that we have accomplished. Hope-fully as we progress through 2021, we will find our new normal. However, we will always remember 2020 for the many obstacles that we have been able to overcome. Here is to an awesome New Year!

Congratulations to our new 2021-2022 Self Advocacy Officer team:

President - Ashley P. Vice President - Daniel I.

Secretary - Brenda M. Time Keeper - Jeremy R.
