Hello friends of NAMI,
We have extended the time to make a reservation for the NAMI Annual Award and Recognition Dinner to Thursday, Nov. 6. Awards will be given to Danny and Barb Hedger, Beckie Kindred, Mary Frasik, and Dick Lee. I know many of you know some or all of the honorees.
Bill Harper, former Executive Director of the Mental Health Board in Warren and Clinton Counties and current Assistant Director of the Ohio Dept. of Mental Health will be the speaker. His talk will focus on transforming the mental health system.
Also Jim Mauro and Gini Haffner of NAMI Ohio are planning to attend.
So here’s a chance to honor some of our most dedicated members and mental health professionals, catch up with some of these friends whom many of you know, or perhaps to meet them for the first time.
I hope many you will plan to attend.

Life Planning Seminars Nov. 18 and 19
Putting the Pieces Together –Another Life Planning Seminar
Lebanon, OH—Many families when faced with a loved one’s diagnosis of mental retardation, developmental disabilities, mental illness, or traumatic brain injury don’t know where to turn for services for their loved one or for financial help. A consortium of service providers, governmental agencies and advocacy groups has come together to help families “put the pieces of the puzzle together.”
On November 18 and November 19, Ms. Kathy Morris and Mr. Richard Neidhard will give four seminars on “What Can I do Today to Plan for the Future of my Loved One who has a Disability.” Ms. Morris is extremely knowledgeable in the area of trusts and life planning. She is the Associate Director of the Community Fund Management Foundation and has been in this field for 34 years. Mr. Neidhard is a founding member of P.L.A.N. of Southwest Ohio, (Planned Lifetime Assistance Network) and is currently a board member of P.L.A.N. He is the parent of a special needs adult child. Both are well known throughout the region. Their presentations are easily understood by families and staff.
The sessions will be held as follows:
