Make The First Five Count!
Tell Congress: Don't Rob Kids with Disabilities of their Chance at a Strong Start in Life!
Every year, millions of young children with disabilities or at risk of developmental delays enter school already far behind other kids their age. Many will never catch up.
With the right treatment and therapy before the age of five, we can change that. So if you believe all kids deserve a chance to learn, build lifelong skills, and achieve their dreams, speak out today!
Sign the petition today at www.makethefirstfivecount.org.

8K Rock Run is May 26th!
Murray Park
Saturday, May 26, 2012
7:30 a.m. start
Registration 6:00 a.m
The Rock Run 8K begins on Rebsamen Road in Murray Park. The route travels west for nearly 1/2 mile. The course then turns onto the paved Arkansas River Trail and heads back east. Just before the 1 mile mark, the course returns onto Rebsamen Road and continues east for another two miles. After passing the Rebsamen Golf Course, the Rock Run 8K course turns onto the Arkansas River Trail once again and travels two miles west back into Murray Park to hit the finish line. The Rock Run 8K is one of the fastest race courses in the state, with only two turns and very flat topography.
The course is USATF certified.

RENEW Recycling Program
Easter Seals Arkansas’ recycling program, RENEW, gives adults with disabilities the opportunity to be employed while also helping our community go green. Collecting and then sorting, shredding and baling all types of office paper and card
board, the program provides meaningful work and a paycheck to the participating adults.
RENEW plans to secure at least 100 contracts in the Central Arkansas area so that more adults have the opportunity to work. Together, RENEW and Central Arkansas businesses are providing adults with disabilities the opportunity to be successful while creating a greener, healthier and more efficient community for all of us to live in.
If you would like to learn more about RENEW or if you would like an on-site review of your recycling needs, please contact John Baldwin at 501-221-8436 or at jbaldwin@eastersealsar.com.
