"Have a nice day!" "Hope you have a great day!" "Stay safe!" We hear all these things often. Young adults with disabilities, however, may be lonely and be hard-pressed to say what a nice day would be. Time with a friend? Time alone with a parent? Going shopping at a favorite place? Traveling the paved path at the nature center?...

We'll start meeting on Friday, September 11 through December 11, at Bestsellers Books and Cafe in Mason, from 4 to 6 PM. There's lots of room for social distancing, and we'll wear masks. If the weather's nice, we can go outside. Our topics this fall will start out with "How do you know someone is really a friend?" We'll work our way through topics that help us think about what it means to be safe, to have a friend, to decide that someone isn't a good friend anymore. [ 60 more words ]
