PROGRAM:
Chris Owens of Prairie Independent Living Resource Center appeared in support of Disability Mentoring Day. This event is designed to bring awareness of the need for employment for persons with disabilities. The unemployment rate for the disabled is 70%.
Mentors, persons of assorted occupations, are matched with mentees, persons with disabilities, to experience the daily activities of those particular positions. Fifty-five individuals will participate in this year’s event. AMBUCS may assist with Disability Mentoring Day by volunteering as mentors, by donating food for the breakfast and reception or by providing transportation for the mentees. Disability Mentoring Day is October 19th.

Welcome Back! Jay Pitzer returns after a stay in Wichita. We will pray for a continued recovery. Jay thanked the membership for the support that he received while in the hospital.
AMBUCS TECH Golf team: They came home empty-handed, but helped to raise funds for TECH in the process. Fourteen birdies and four pars did not place them in the top 10. Chicago format includes the factoring of golf handicaps. What our team needed was higher handicaps (No names, please!).
