 The Disability Awareness Committee is planning three exciting events in July:
Performance to shed light on mental illness will be held on July 12th at 12:30pm in the Pierce Hall Auditorium. Erasing the Distance’s production of The People I Know is a 90-minute theatrical experience capturing the heartbreak and hope associated with mental illness, featuring five true stories performed by professional actors. Food and drinks will be provided before the show.
The Disability Community Open Mic will be hosted by the Temple on July 24th from 6-8:30pm in the James Parlor. This is an annual event that provides a forum for people to share their thoughts, writings, and poems about the disability experience. Food and drinks will be provided.
Come watch the Disability Pride Parade on Saturday July 25th with your family and friends. Parade steps off is at 11am from Van Buren St and marches north on Dearborn to Washington St, ending at Daley Plaza. Over 40 disability groups march as a way to increase disability awareness and promote the belief that disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity. Stay for the fun post-parade celebration with music, performances, and speakers in Daley Plaza. There are also exhibit booths where the Temple will have a booth to share information about our church. |
