We are proud to announce Autumn Art Fair 2009, our 5th annual! Our fair features music and art by people with developmental disabilities and others from the community. All proceeds go to our Flex fund, which helps pay for things that customers otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to get. Come show your support!
Inclusion collaborated with several of the metro-area brokerages to host our annual Resource Fair and Customer BBQ. We had a great turnout of about 400 people including customers, providers and family members!
Here’s a short clip of the resource fair’s incredible turnout:
Resources within the community came to share information about their services, provide demonstrations and join in the fun. We raffled off 5 beautiful gift baskets filled mostly with donations from The Arc of Multnomah-Clackamas, Good Shepherd Communities, PCC Culinary Assistant Program, Ride Wise, On The Move, Trips Inc, Eastco, Autism Society of Oregon, Happy Trails Riding Center, and Special Olympics Oregon. See below for a list of the community resources that joined us and made this event such a success!
Meanwhile, across the street at Overlook Park everyone enjoyed a meal together, kickball, horseshoes and our CCI-sponsored bean bag toss game.
Here’s a video from the BBQ, featuring some dancing and fun:
Can’t wait to see everyone next year!
