This weekend Team Daniel pressed onward with our statewide road trips and burned rubber all the way to Charlotte, North Carolina. Our mission was to meet our families in the Charlotte/Gastonia area, but boy were we surprised! An extra special thanks goes out to everyone that traveled from the Triangle and Asheville. We hope you had as wonderful time as we did.
Thank you all for sharing your stories, anecdote and time with us! We learned more that day than you'll ever know! Please keep watch for some of the information you shared to pop up in a future issue of EMPOWERED and this blog!
Now that we have met face to face, don't be shy! Please stay in touch, if you would like information on future "Meet & Greets" contact Lauren at lrobinson(at)teamdaniel(dot)com.
P.S.-Thank you Mountain Island Library for your beautiful atmosphere and awesome book sale! :)

I Think It's About Time We Met!
I know that social networking is the "in" thing to do...but we at Team Daniel want to sit and chat with you. We will be at the Mountain Island Library in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, August 1st from 1:30pm-3:30pm.
The main topic of discussion will be future improvements for individuals with developmental disabilities, but if you have any other questions...we probably have an answer. This meeting would also be a great chance to talk about any article ideas for EMPOWERED! Plus we will have copies of "They Created Us" for sale.
Think of this as a "low key get together". Come one, come all! Hopefully we will all learn a lot, and possibly make a new friend or two.
Interested in coming?
Here's the address to the library:
4420 Hoyt Galvin Way, Charlotte, NC 28214
But you can always email: lrobinson(at) teamdaniel(dot) com if you have questions or would like to RSVP.
Can't wait to meet you!
