Today we made history! Kent Madison and myself made a trip to City Hall!
The City of Bowling Green, KY - Municipal Government made its first ever proclamation recognizing disabilities or declaring March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month! The proclamation also highlighted Center For Accessible Living and the integral work we do for the community and those who need our services.
It was an honor to speak with Mayor Todd Alcott and members of the City Commissioner, like Carlos Bailey, Bowling Green City Commissioner, Sue Parragin, and Dana Beasley Brown.

Having my 2 younger children attend this event was a memorable experience as well as supporters from the community: our consumers and staff from Neighborhood and Community Services.
