WELCOME

Among those of us who care deeply for and about people with developmental disabilities, I hope to hear emerge a new voice, ours, rising together for the benefit of all, harmonizing with reason, respect and hope, and transcending divisions, giving birth to a new era of creative cooperation.

Toward this potential, DD EXCHANGE is for conversation, civil sounding off, sharing of stories, experience, information, resources, and inspiration, giving and receiving support, and creative problem solving.

TOGETHER, WE ARE AWESOME!

Thank you , everyone, for your letters to legislators, your stories that illustrate the value of RHCs! Be encouraged that they have paid off to the extent that the 3 RHC attack bills appear to be dead.

HOWEVER, please keep up your letters, calls and stories to legislators in order to prevent resurrection, next week, when the supplemental budgets are unveiled. If you haven't contacted your district's legislators, recently, now is the time to be sure they are up to speed!

You can find out who your legislator's are at: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Default.aspx. Phone number: To find the phone number, click the legislator's name. Email. Find an on-line email form where you can paste in your message by clicking on "email".

You are powerful!
