The Derby City Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association Network- Serving Kentuckiana.
Message From the President
Dear Members & Friends-
Our speaker this month will be Jenny Smith from The Mobility Project. She will discuss how this organization provides wheelchairs and other durable medical equipment for predominantly third world countries. Jenny has traveled to Mexico, Afghanistan, and other countries. She will be going back to Afghanistan in the near future. She will talk about her experiences with accessibility issues in foreign countries and what type of impact her donations make to those disabled citizens in other parts of the world.
May’s meeting will be held at Frazier Rehab, 4th floor activity room. Social hour: 6:30; speaker at 7:00 p.m. Refreshments provided.

The support group is selling coupons to various restaurants throughout the Kentuckiana area. These coupons cost $10 and come in three different combinations. One is for McDonalds, another is Pizza Hut, and the third is a variety of different restaurants.
Any one interested in buying or selling them to help out the group should call David Allgood at 589-6620. We hope to use the proceeds for the same purposes as is mentioned in the column on the right.
A RECIPE FOR FUNDRAISING By David Allgood
The Derby City Area Chapter is in the process of developing a fundraiser. We are going to sell cookbooks. We are wanting to get as many recipes from our Chapter members as we possibly can. Your recipe, along with the name of the individual who provided the recipe, will be included in our cookbook. We are going to sell these cookbooks for $8.00 and hope to have them ready by early July. The cookbook will have an American flag theme and we hope that our members will be able to sell a large number of them. We need to have the recipes to us by April 19. We hope to give some of the proceeds to the University of Louisville’s spinal cord research project and possibly help sponsor some Chapter members’ trip to our annual national convention. So please send your recipes to:
David Allgood Center for Accessible Living 981 S. Third St., #102 Louisville, KY 40203
Thanks for making this a potentially successful fundraiser.
