Hi Heidi,

I am the Youth Services Coordinator at Northwest Youth Corps where I'm working to develop programs for kids with disabilities. As part of that and our other inclusion efforts, we are hosting a community film series this spring which will also raise money for our Gear Fund.

The first film will be Right to Risk, an hour-long documentary that follows a group of people with various disabilities on a 15 day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon (http://www.righttorisk.org/righttorisk/rtr_about.html).

We'll show it on the evening of Thursday, February 22nd and we're hoping to follow it with a brief panel discussion (about 30 minutes) with some local athletes or outdoorspeople with disabilities and people who work in adaptive rec to speak about their experience. Do you know of anyone in the Eugene-Springfield area who might be interested in participating? We'll offer a modest honorarium and we're working on some food donations so we'll likely be able to offer them dinner as well. If you have any ideas about who might be interested or where else I could ask, I'd be really happy to hear them.

Hope you're doing well!
Best,

Mary Bowers
