IEDC,
I greatly appreciate everything the IEDC does for the community. The overall philosophy of collaborating and networking to help ANY person with a disability or special need affects thousands of people in our local community. The IEDC and the effort of it's members help all people with disabilities excel in all their endeavors.
Because of the guiding philosophy of partnering with others, the IEDC members are able to help people with disabilities be successful contributing members of our community and have a positive affect on others. The DisAbility Sports Festival has only been able to succeed because of the support of the IEDC and it's members. This support will help us to continue to grow and reach our goal of providing physical activity opportunities to 600 people of any age and disability next year. We thank you for all your help and without you we would not succeed.
Sincerely,
Aaron Moffett, Ph.D.
Dept of Kinesiology
CA State University San Bernardino
