VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

HCI seeks a volunteer to write articles, press releases & feature news for publication in our newsletter, local & area newspaper & other publications.

HCI also needs your help with the Lower Shore Ramp Project. If you consider yourself good with tools and would like to help, please call Rose Carey at 443-260-0822.

Kudos to Wicomico County Detention Center for providing excellent volunteers for several past ramp projects.

DEMONT ELSEY JOINS THE “BLUE TOOTH” GROUP

“June 24, 2008 will forever be one of the greatest days of my life. This is the day I received my very first cell phone, an ENV2 with a blue tooth that is connected to a switch device. Once attached to my headrest, I can activate the cell phone through the movement of my head with just one click. Through voice command, I can verbally control the calls that are made and also when they are finished. Honestly, this is something I have always hoped and dreamed for as long as I can remember. “

This is significant for Demont because he is paralyzed from the neck down. This allows him to be more independent by providing him with his own communication device. Way to go, Demont!!!!
