Hittin' the Road!

We are hittin' the road bright and early on our way to Riverton, WY tomorrow morning for the June Council meeting. Rich will be leading our "wagon train" as we journey north from Cheyenne with a fairly full van-load of folks from the Council. I wonder how many times we'll make it through the song, "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" before we get there? It's like a four-hour drive or so, not counting the numerous times I want to get out and stretch.

I am very excited about the trip to Riverton, where the Big River and Little River meet. This is my first trip to Riverton, and actually, my first trip to Fremont County. I am still blown away by the fact that you can drive for hours and hours and STILL stay in state in Wyoming. It's huge!

This Council meeting is very exciting as it is when the Evaluation Committee members sit down and go over the different groups in the state looking for grants from the Council. They compare the groups' / associations' goals to our five-year plan and see if and how they fit in to the big picture for people with developmental disabilities in the State of Wyoming.

We will also be holding elections for Chair Person and Vice Chair Person - it's going to be a busy meeting!

Thank you dear reader for checking in with the Crossroads Blog, hope the June weather is treating you well!
