>Hi everyone!
>
>I am writing you to let you know about a campus organization, Natural Ties.
>It is an organization that promotes normal social inclusion and normal
>friendships between college students and those who have been labeled with a
>disability of some sort.  It is really, really fun -- it's somewhat similar
>to the Big Brother-Big Sister program, as it promotes one-on-one
>relationships.  The purpose is to include people with disabilities into our
>everyday lifestyles, in some aspect, so that they have more of a social
>network.   Most times, after high school, people with labeled disabilities
>go to work ....and thats about all the "inclusion" they receive : isolation
>is something no one ever wants to deal with, and Natural Ties' mission is
>to break down these barriers.
>
>We meet for dinner as an inclusive organization each Thursday evening from
>6-7 in Haines Food Court of Shriver - if you come in the back door, we're
>located in the area on left.  WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU THERE!  If you're
>going to eat anyways, why not come eat with the best of 'em?  It's a really
>fun time for so many people, and it means the world to our friends.
>
>If you are interested in this concept, feel free to contact myself, Sarah
>Curtis at [log in to unmask] or at 9-8453.
>
>Good luck with the last few weeks of classes!
>
>Sincerely,
>Sarah
