I'll second Ken's comment about zaniness. Most of our discussions are
fairly light-hearted, and, well, dammit, we like it that way! ;>) Once in a
while someone will start a nuts 'n bolts thread on health or advocacy
issues. and there are plenty of opportunities for soapboxing.
Do you have CP yourself? Most of us do; a few are parents of kids with
CP--others, like "Beth the OT", are able-bodied, but are here to help with
practical living issues.
Welcome!

Hello there!
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is
Dina
and I just signed up with the C-PALSY mailing list. Let me tell you a little
about myself. I live in the Los Angeles area, I'm 27 years old, & I recently
got married 6 months ago. I work at the ILC in L.A. as an Systems Change
Advocate. In my job, I empower people with disabilities to make systemic
changes on a local, state, and national level. We work on issues like
housing, transportation, benefits, etc. wherever my consumers want to make
change. I am fairly new at my job, I've been here for 6 months, so if anyone
suggestions let me know. I am a people person!!! :) I love meeting new
people, so please don't hesitate to say "Hi!" I believe that nobody can have
too friends!!! Hope you all have a great day and I look forward to hearing
from you soon!! :)
Dina
