October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the people at Freeport showed their support every Friday in October by wearing pink. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month dates back to October 1985. This is when the first organized movement to bring attention to the dangers of breast cancer occurred in the United States Since then, campaigns to educate the public about this disease have continued to thrive and multiply. We are happy to do our part and raise awareness in our community.
My Life Plan—My Way!
Having a Life Plan that truly speaks to all the things you want and don’t want in your life is not always simple or easy.
The great thing about the Life Plan is that while it is 100% driven by the person, it includes a team of people who are engaged in meeting the needs, and reaching the goals, of the person.
Coleen Mackin has a number of people she’s invited onto her team, including Robert Ciatto, Matt Hofele, Kate Zimmerman and Colleen Tapia. Each of these people have different skills and knowledge to share that are important in realizing her Life Plan goals and for her life! These people are important to Coleen; she trusts them to offer her strategies to consider along the way toward achieving her goals whatever they may be.
Creating a great support team is a powerful and surefire way to have your needs and wants known and for having a Life Plan that is uniquely you!
Follow Coleen’s lead and invite people to your Life Plan Meeting who share in your life vision and can support you to make it come true!
In My Own Words….Kenny Smith and Cheryl Cohen on Advocacy
Working, having a job and a paycheck is such an important part of many people’s lives.
We invite you to visit AHRC Nassau’s YouTube channel to learn from Cheryl how she advocated for her job at Marshall’s and about her work experiences and friendships. Kenny’s story is equally powerful. He shares his role in conducting hiring interviews and his own personal advocacy for employment.
