Happy Birthday Yall!!

Thank you to all of those who came out to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness
Month! We had a blast supporting a good cause, and succeeded in putting on
some smiles all around. It doesnt get much better than that!

Guest Speaker: Kathy Dieringer

Thank you all for welcoming Kathy back to the 40 acres so graciously! She was
kind enough to take the time to come and talk to LATSA. We cannot thank you
enough Kathy for sharing your story, and inspiring us to better the profession.

Guest Speaker: Allen Hardin

Allen, thank you for taking the time to come and host a post-graduate seminar
for our LATSA members. We were left with valuable tools to help build strong
interview, resume, and cover letter skills. I believe we all feel better prepared
for the job application process after having that informative dialogue!
