A message from Mighty Max:
Today Mommy gave me the heads up that June 14th is the date of The Human Race, an event organized by the Whatcom Volunteer Center. Approximately 50 organizations participated last year, including The Arc of Whatcom County, (Advocating for the Rights of Citizens with Developmental Disabilities).
The Arc is planning on participating again this year...but they need your help to make it a HUGE success! They are hoping to raise $35,000 from this event so that a full time volunteer coordinator/event manager can be hired. Mommy says this financial support will help move this wonderful organization from a part time agency to FULL TIME. And trust me, the community absolutely needs the services and input from this agency.
As I get older, I will need The Arc's services more and more. Already they have helped me and Mommy immensely by providing much needed leadership training, resources and guidance for the future. The group is very passionate about fighting for the rights for amazing people like me! (And I just loving visiting the office because everyone simply adores me.)
Yours truly is one of the "ten representatives" for the race, isn't that cool? We sure would love to have a big team of support! (And who knows, maybe I will be walking independently by then and I can hold your hand???) If you are interested, please email my mom (amysmckinley@aol.com) and she'll answer any questions, put you on the list or whatever you need.
So June 14th is the date. Go ahead and mark it down in your datebook. Yep, like now...go ahead...get out your calendar and write it down. (I know I am a little bossy these days...it's my latest "stage"!) Ok, great! Now let's start thinking of friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and community leaders who would help raise some money for this extremely worthy cause!
My mommy, all my special friends, and I thank you very much for your consideration!
Love, Mighty Max :)
