Today, PossAbilities is excited to participate in Disability Services Day at the Minnesota State Capitol. It is one of the largest annual advocacy events for people with disabilities.

Minnesota Senator Jim Abeler said to the crowd, "You're never alone. You matter." Ninety buses full of disability organizations from around the state traveled to the capital to advocate for their cause.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Congressman Brad Finstad to PossAbilities on Friday to discuss our rich heritage, the people with disabilities who rely on our services each day, our stellar employees, families, and case managers, and potential grants. We had an engaging conversation about the Achievement Hub, a groundbreaking initiative PossAbilities is spearheading to reduce government dependency. Congressman Finstad was complimentary of our 98-100% employee retention and our thrust to develop a sustainable model of service through collaboration and partnerships with local business, medical, educational, agricultural, and other providers.

Take a look at this poem by Adam Finke πŸ‘‡ all about Spring Fever today! πŸŒΈβ˜€οΈ

When will the lovely robins come?
If they do I'm sure they are very confused
Old man winter laughs with snow and then some
The lovely robins never blow their fuse

They sit and endure the rough times
Even watch their friends become trapped in the frigid temps
That old man winter sure is cruel sometimes
The lovely robins wait and never be in the dumps

They bide their time and start their nest
3 to 4 snowfalls on the tail of the robin
Old man winter tries hard to ruin the best
The first to get the worm will survive to win
