DRM Dedication

Thursday afternoon the three of us along with Cari packed in the van and headed over to Helena for an overnight.  Dustin had a board meeting and we all wanted to attend the Friday dedication/open house for the new Disability Rights MT (Montana P & A) office.  The ride over to Helena was enjoyable as always with the mountain scenery going by.  It really makes the two hour trip over there go by pretty quick.

Dustin spent the evening at his meeting while we went over to the hotel to unload our luggage and respiratory paraphernalia.  It was Cari's first trip out of town with us and needless to say she was pretty excited.  There were so many things to check out at the hotel and she wasn't going to miss anything.  She was a pretty pooped Pug by the end of the evening.  

 

Friday we attended the noon dedication for Disability Rights Montana's (DRM) newly renovated building .  The dedication was brief and it was cool to see those who worked on this project get the recognition they deserve.  Dustin serves on their BOD and it was nice to be there with him.  After the dedication they served up hot dogs to those in attendance and it was a great way to end the festivities.  This new headquarters will serve DRM well as they continue their advocacy on behalf of Montanans with disabilities.

We returned to Missoula on Friday night and it was a pretty laid back weekend.  My weekends will be getting much busier soon when school starts.  School starts on August 25th and the only thing left to do is purchase my textbooks and get them scanned onto CD.  It feels good to be heading into my 2nd year and hopefully things will go well for me this fall.

Well before school starts, I plan on enjoying the rest of my vacation.  We have a few things planned to do in August with the Western Montana Fair being at the top of the list.  Can't wait to satisfy my fair food cravings :-)

Hope everyone is having a enjoyable summer so far and I'll be back next week.

Stay well...Mark
