LINKS Mat-Su Parent Resource Center
My daughter, Tawny Buck, and me working at the “Promoting Positive Partnerships” Conference held last weekend at the Best Western Hotel, Wasilla, Alaska.
I changed hats last weekend and worked as a volunteer for the LINKS “Promoting Positive Partnerships” Conference helping my daughter who is the Director of Development of this most worthy organization. The mission statement of LINKS is; “Mat-Su Parent Resource Center is dedicated to providing information, support, and assistance to parents of children with disabilities, their professional partners, and their communities. We are committed to listening to and learning from families, and encouraging full participation in community life by all people”
The training workshop conference, a first time event, was very well attended with excellent speakers from Alaska and the lower 48 states. This is the first of many planned events in the Matanuska Valley to educate, train, and assist parents and professionals who work with disabled children. I am impressed with this group and their sincere dedication. Congratulations LINKS, a job well done!
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaska Artist
