This week - August 25-31, 2018:

1. Bowling Fundraiser

NCCI Blog - August 30, 2018

Here is the place on the web with all the information about NCCI’s upcoming bowling fundraiser. You can use it however you need to tell people about the event, and direct them on how to participate. The post includes a link where people can view and download the registration form. Please share widely! One suggestion … add the link to your email signatures from now until the event.

2. Straw Ban Followup … Action Needed

NCCI Blog - August 29, 2018

The City definitely needs to hear from as many people as possible about the potential problems for people with disabilities of banning plastic straws. Reaching out to our CDPAP consumers could be very worthwhile. Also, other disability agencies, like ARC, may want to weigh in, as quite a few of the people they serve may rely on plastic straws. If we help pass a compromise measure, we will have done better than major cities and companies are doing on this issue, with their blanket bans and vague, lukewarm promises to “consider” the needs of people with disabilities.
