RCIL Expanding On-Line Presence

Just wanted you to know the Resource Center for Independent Living of Utica, NY, is spreading its mission and vision via multiple on-line modes. RCIL is now on Facebook just hitting the one hundred member milestone. It also has an Advocacy Blog site and recently established a YouTube presence with a little video contest to promote some images meaningful to the cause of independent living.
RCIL has many other projects on the drawing board inclusive of continuing to advocated for an integrated services bill in the NYS legislature, expanding services in the community to support independent living, as well as plans to assist disadvantaged youth.
You can reach all the sites through the RCIL link found in the right column on this blog.

Facebook Creating Cause Allies

It is a real phenomenon among the on-line world today and for that matter in any media. Facebook began as a social networking site, yet has certainly become so much more. I am a member of the National Brain Injury Foundation, a group dedicated to providing social support systems, awareness, and education for and about those with acquired brain injuries.
There is the connected blog you find on this blogsite and now a Facebook site with over 300 members from all over the country. This was a means for the members here in Upstate, NY (Utica) to spread our ideas,plams and goals not just in the USA really, but worldwide - amazing.
A Facebook Causes page has also been created. Please check these all out by connecting through the NBIF link on this site...
More to come as NBIF transforms into a source for changing the lives of those with brain injuries, their families, and friends
