Below are some of The Partnership's recent activities.  Watch our News and Events page for upcoming events!

Safety Rally
We all deserve to be safe!  That's why The Partnership holds a safety rally at the STA Plaza each year promoting personal safety for people with developmental disabilities.  Guest speakers, personal safety demonstrations, booths, music and prizes make this event both fun and educational. 

Girl Group
The Partnership has just completed its first Eduational Support group!  High school students participating in Spokane Public School's Community Images program learned important facts about anotomy, relationships and personal safety.  They also had lots of fun!

Community Education

A Meeting with the Chief of Police
On February 15, 2008 a number of The Partnership's participants met with Spokane's Chief of Police Anne Kirkpatrick who was very attentive to our concerns and agreed to speak at our next Safety Rally.  Thank you Chief Kirkpatrick!
