We have some truly incredibly news, friends!
One year ago, we became aware of an urgency to replace our extremely outdated HVAC system. With no air conditioning and minimal heating and air flow, our building became an uncomfortable, even unhealthy environment for our staff and visitors. The cost of removing our current system and installing a new one was a daunting sum. Nevertheless, we set out to apply for the funding to accomplish this vital project.
We are now proud to say that we have been awarded a substantial grant of $325,469 through Avista Utilities' Named Communities Investment Fund! This grant will completely cover our HCAV replacement project from start to finish.
We cannot fully express the gratitude we hold for Avista and this incredibly generous grant. With this sum, we are now able to completely replace our aging and inefficient HVAC system, which will vastly improve our indoor air quality and finally allow for proper heating, cooling, and air flow throughout our building. Thank you so much for making this critical project a reality!

Amplifying Leadership for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future: International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2024 | Dr. Kirk Adams
https://drkirkadams.com/intl-day-of-persons-with-disabilities-2024/

December 3rd, 2024, marks the annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), a day set aside by the United Nations in 1992 to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities and promote their full inclusion in society. This day is particularly meaningful to me, both as a blind professional and as someone who has spent a lifetime advocating for disability inclusion. IDPD reminds us not just to reflect on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, but to actively commit to removing barriers and unlocking potential.

The eclipse is almost here, and you can experience the total eclipse of the sun through SOUND. Join us today, Monday, April 8, 2024, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. CT/2:00-4:00 p.m. ET, on ACB Media and Zoom.

Harvard University’s astronomy department welcomes those who are blind or have low vision to experience the upcoming total eclipse of the sun through use of the LIGHTSOUND device. The device uses a technique called sonification, which is the process of converting data—in this case, light intensity—into sound.

ACB and ACB Media are proud to partner with Harvard to broadcast this amazing event where you will be able to experience and track through sound the eclipse as it reaches totality at different times from Texas through Vermont. People from many different organizations around the country will connect their LIGHTSOUND devices to Zoom as the eclipse reaches totality at their location.

To join this event:

👉 Use the built-in media player on ACB Media 2 at https://acbmedia.org/2
👉 Say to your Alexa device: Alexa, ask ACB Media to play 2
👉 Access Media 2 from your ACB link App or
👉 Join via Zoom at https://acb-org.zoom.us/j/82689523178

Check the Community Event schedule for information about attending the event through a community call and on ACB Media 5.
