Pathways to Empowerment Campaign. We encourage all of you to attend this event next Tuesday night.

Where: Amelia Earhart Elementary School Cafeteria, 3260 S 9th Street, Lafayette
Indiana is facing a budget crisis unlike anything we have seen in many years. Every program that people
with disabilities count on is facing huge challenges, at a time when more people than ever before need
help. At this critical time, it is important that we not simply react, but that we act. That is why The
Arc of Indiana launched the Building Pathways to Empowerment Campaign in the spring of 2010. The goal
is to redesign and redefine the system of services for people with developmental disabilities to be a
system that provides what people want and need in the most sensible way possible.
A critical part of the Pathways campaign is harnessing the collective wisdom of families, self-advocates
and providers. WE NEED YOU to attend the Regional Pathways Forum in Lafayette.
