Wednesday with ResCare in Huntingburg, Indiana
June 18th, 2008 | 
Author: 
Today Anna headed off to the UCP Conference in DC and Kara joined me to train some of the folks from ResCare’s Community Alternatives South East in Huntingburg, Indiana.
What was cool about these sessions was that we did them at the local library. We did have a couple of network/firewall issues, but a pleasantly geeky librarian was on hand to help!
It strikes me as being a wonderful resource for lots of providers out there who want to run sessions but maybe don’t have the room. Libraries tend to have bookable “community rooms” and also tend to have internet access. Kara will be doing another library session later this week.
As for me, I’m off back to Connecticut to hoot and holler as Calum “graduates” from Middle School.

North and South
Kara and Ishita are now moving from North Dakota to South Dakota, starting off at one of my favorite places, Mount Rushmore.
So if you are going to be seeing them this week, be sure to say “Hi” for me. If not, why not!!

Where's Kara?
Now that Kara is well into here two week trek through the Dakota’s, be sure to keep up with her and Ishita’s progress in her blog.
Of course, if you are in North Dakota (this week) or South Dakota (next week) be sure to say hi to them and learn more about Therap.

Finally, a conference in Connecticut
As I prepare to head off to Minnesota on Sunday and Kara and Ishita are getting ready for their trek through the Dakotas it is nice to hear that next year there will be some people coming to us.
Since I started playing this game, the closest that one of the major national conferences has been was Boston.
Next year’s DDNA Conference however will be at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino right here in Little Ol’ Connecticut.
See you there!
Justin
It’s not just Kara that you have to keep up with!
Be sure to keep up with Priyanka, who along with Asif and Shawon is visiting Nepal this week and working with agencies there.
You can follow their progress on the Customer Support Blog.
With all this Therap blogging going on you might want to look into an RSS Feed Aggregator, I use Bloglines.

Where's Kara?
These days it can be easier to track down Waldo than to track down Ms. Blevins.
That is unless you follow her blog.
Kara is on her way back from a health conference in Maryland following recent appearances in New Mexico at the DDNA conference and in Minnesota for the ARRM conference.
After all that excitement, she’ll be heading off to North and South Dakota next week.
So, if you want to have Kara stop in and see you, be sure to get in touch soon!

Going back to North Dakota
Because I had such a great and successful trip to North Dakota last week, we’re going to be going back. This time Kara is the lucky one who will get to meet all you fine North Dakotans.
She will be in North Dakota for the week of June 4th-10th to provide demonstrations, training, and set up.
If you would like to meet with her, please get in touch.
