Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

An ice cream social open house will be held from 6-7:30 p.m., on Monday, Oct. 10  at LIFE Mower County.

We would like youth of all ages with disabilities and their families to join us to see what LIFE has to offer, how we as a community can support each other, and what we can bring together for programming and networking.  Please come visit with us at LIFE and the kids can make ice cream sundaes, socialize, play games and enjoy the facility.  If you have any questions, please contact Dawn at 507-473-4831 or dawn@lifemowercounty.org.

Your vote has power. Pledge to vote today

Voting is very important. Your vote helps choose the people who will run the government, make laws, decide where government money gets spent, and much more. The people who get picked to run the government — and the decisions they make — can have a big impact on the lives of people with disabilities and their families.  If you do not vote, then you do not get a say in what happens.

Make a pledge today to at https://tinyurl.com/YourVoteHasPower2022 :

• Vote this November.

• Pick people who you believe will make good changes for your community, state, and country.

• Encourage your friends and family to vote.

Join us and commit to being a voter as soon as you are eligible!  Then make a plan for how you will cast your ballot.
