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.
