eSpecially Ben

Watching Dad play in an alumni rugby match made Ben pretty darn happy. We were there for almost 2 hours, and I did not hear a peep from Ben...just lots of smiles.

Recently, I was sent links to varied types of resources.  This lead me to do some more research. Here is what I found: Council for Children's Rights - Wednesday Series in Charlotte, NC An opportunity for parents, family members, and professionals who advocate for children to ask questions about special education and school discipline. Take On Sports - Weddington, NC Take on Sports (fka Challenger Sports) offers athletic opportunities for the special needs youth ages 5 through 22 (or graduation from high school), in Union County, NC.    Federation for Children with Special Needs The Federation for Children with Special Needs provides 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, especially those with disabilities. Article for Pare

One of the moms from Ben's baseball team is running a raffle to raise money for the Miracle League.  Please contact Wendy Batley directly at kwbatley516@yahoo.com to work out the details for payment and prizes. Her son, incidentally, is the very talented announcer for the games when he is not playing for the Braves. Joe Gibbs Racing Pack
