Snow Day!

Saturday January 23rd, we were hoping to get out in the big back yard to play in the snow, be creative, use different senses and just have fun having an outdoor Snow party!

Unfortunately in Minnesota we never know what the weather will do! It was raining with the chance of ice so we made the best of it…. Having the party inside, enjoying hot chocolate, and making our own “snow” cones and several “winter” related crafts. Enjoying “winter” from inside was just as fun….without the frost bite and cold noses!!!

 
 
Everyone had a wonderful time at the SILS/SLS In Home Christmas party this year.  A delicious turkey dinner was prepared and served by our kitchen staff, Becky and Julie.  Tom Frisk provided entertainment followed by lively games of Bingo.  There were prizes for all.

Adam Menden selected as one of eleven
Capitol Internship Fellows for the
2010 legislative session
 


The Capitol Fellowship Program is an honorary internship program for persons with disabilities. The purpose of the program is to engage the Minnesota Senate in providing persons with disabilities an opportunity to demonstrate their capacity to participate in work performed in the Minnesota Legislature and at the State Capitol. In addition, the program seeks to mentor participants on careers of the future and provide honor and recognition to those in the disability community that have demonstrated commitment to work and exemplary performance on the job. 

As a selected participant or “Fellow,” Adam will work one day a week at the State Capitol with Senator Kathy Sheran. He will work on prepared projects, attend senate meetings of interest and participate in group projects with the other Fellows. 

If you would like to follow Adam on his adventure, look for his blog spots at www.MNWorks4you.org. There will be a link on the home page. 

The Capitol Fellowship Program is sponsored by MN Works! a state-wide initiative to assist people with disabilities in obtaining meaningful employment.
