Message from the Executive Director,
Welcome to the November edition of Wheel World News! I can't believe we are already approaching the holiday season. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful here at the AZSCIA.
This month, our Spotlight Story is all about our Fall/Winter Series of Living Healthy with SCI. For the first class, we have Annette Zaccari coming in to hold an open discussion about coping with the upcoming holiday season. You won't want to miss this class, read more about it on pages 2-3. If you are wanting to become more involved this month in the SCI community, there are plenty of events happening this month that could help you with that. Read about all the upcoming events happening this November in the Current Events section on pages 4-6. For this month’s “Consumer Corner” segment, we are highlighting Heather Grossman, a survivor of domestic violence. She also just released her own book, "Paralyzed in Paradise" that goes into more depth of her life story. Read her personal story on pages 10-12. Our featured professional in our "Professional Profile" segment is Jenny Nordine who works for Driving to Independence. Visit pages 13-15 to read more about who she is and what she contributes to the SCI
community. Throughout this edition of Wheel World News, there are various articles that are great reads, we hope you enjoy!
