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
