Katie's Network

Being older parents with only a few scattered close relatives, we were reassured to know that the LifeSPAN program would provide oversight and assistance for Katie's network into the future. The network get-togethers provide Katie with opportunities to develop relationships and gain social skills, which in turn will help her become more confident and self-sufficient. We see that as one of the goals attainable through Katie's LifeSPAN Network, and we already feel progress has been made in that area.
-- Dennis and Barbara Bednar, Lifetime Members, September, 2006

Note: Barbara passed away after a long illness in Fall, 2006.

I think of my network as a circle of friends. I think our meetings are lots of fun and I always look forward to them. Sometimes we do arts and crafts, which is fun and we learn a lot. We also share food and recipes and we listen to music.

Mom, Dad, and I are looking at apartments. We found this one we liked best. So just a quick FYI, we're going to be moving to the apartment at "The Heights" on October 5th.
