The Family Foundation gathered in Miami for the Fall 2016 meeting. Lots of business to take care of, but we also had the chance to do a site visit at "Shake A Leg". It's a fully-integrated experience for individuals of all ages with physical disabilities. Wheelchairs, Crutches, walkers, you name it! You can see the kayaks going out, a sailboat being steered by a young disabled girl and a pontoon for those with not as much ability. The gentlemen in the wheelchair in the pic with us is the Director!!! We were gobsmacked! Conrado was being funny and, as you can see, he was showing us he could "Shake a Leg".
A table made from an old deck of a sailboat!!!
These folks in their wheelchairs going out in Kayaks
Notice the 'IM' is crossed out because it is a POSSIBLE DREAM!
The little munchkin in blue, transferred from her wheel chair and is in charge of the tiller on the sail boat!!!!
There go the Kayaks!
As the board, two days were spent working on reviewing site visit reports, determining grant amounts and working on lots of administrative paper work: Bylaws, Policy and Procedures and more!
Love the pictures
