Manhattan DD Council Legislative Breakfast: SAVE the DATE

THE MANHATTAN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES COUNCIL INVITES YOU TO ITS 20TH ANNUAL

LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST

on
FRIDAY, MARCH 13TH, 2008

at
BARNES & NOBLE UNION SQUARE
33 EAST 17TH STREET

8:00-10:00 a.m.

For information, please call 212-677-4650

This annual event is a great place to get up to date on the legislative business affecting individuals with disabilities and the agencies that provide services for them throughout New York City. City and state legislators attend, and the OMRDD Commissioner often provides a summary of the budget outlook for that agency, along with a counterpart from NYC Department of Health on Early Intervention. Some issues that concern the segregated special education programs are also covered.

This is a time efficient and affordable way to put some faces with the names of people you see in advocacy e-mails you might get from our listserv.

With modest city and severe state budget cuts projected, this is a really good way to get informed, and see if you may want to put a trip to Albany on your spring calendar.
