Single Point for Activities and Recreation-- SPAR

I recently spoke with Sarah, the Assistive Technology and Adaptive Recreation Specialist over at Superior Alliance for Independent Living (SAIL), about some of the programming that they've been sponsoring or co-sponsoring this winter.  While many of SAIL's activities are geared toward adults, many of the programs they are doing through SPAR are for all ages.  SPAR is a new program and it sounds like there is a lot of energy and neat ideas behind it.  Besides the snowshoeing and adaptive cross country skiing programs, they are sponsoring game nights, movie nights, a strong bodies class at the Y, and dances.  Activities are held in Marquette, Munising, Houghton, and other locations throughout the U.P.  Checkout their winter newsletter for more details.

Towards the end of the newsletter I noticed that SAIL is hosting a chocolate festival on Saturday, February 12 at the Westwood Mall in Marquette from 1:00-4 pm.  Tickets for this fundraiser are only $5.00 a persona and are available at the SAIL offices or at the event.
