Letter from the Executive Director
Message from the Executive Director,
Welcome to the October edition of Wheel World News! It's Fall time, which means it's finally cooler outside again, thank goodness! Fall is my favorite season for many reason; nice weather, fall festivities, Halloween, and all the fun things this time of year brings.
This month, our Spotlight Story is all about the Fall Series of the Advanced Wheelchair Skills Classes. Visit pages 3-4 to read about these FREE classes and how you can get involved.
If you are wanting to get out in the community more this month, there are plenty of outreach/social events happening within the community that could help you with that. Read about all the upcoming events happening this October including AZSCIA's Annual Wheeling in Nature and Fall Bingo Night in the Current Events section on pages 5-6. For the "Consumer Corner" segment this month, we are highlighting Shawnique Cotton, Ms. Wheelchair USA. Read more about her inspiring story on pages 7-8. Also, be sure to check out our featured professional of the month in the "Professional Profile" segment on pages 9-10, where we interviewed our very own Eric Kenning, who just recently returned back to the AZSCIA Staff in September.
Our newsletter is for you, our community. We would love to hear how you think we could improve, change, or add to our newsletter. We are interested in anything you would like to share or comment on so please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
As always, thank you to everyone who supports the Association throughout the year, we truly appreciate each and every one of you! We hope to see you out in the community this month!
