Sipper Cup, Will Travel." Over the past 11 years that I have
been executive director, it occurred to
Now most members should have a cup or two or three by now since they are giveaways at most events. If you don't have a cup, we'll have them at some events through the fall. We all hope you enjoy this fun little project and thank you in advance for sharing your travels with us! Remember, DateAble is as much a part of your life as you let
it. We are already looking ahead to the next Image Awards which
will be held on April 28, 2004 at the DoubleTree Hotel in
Rockville, MD. We are currently accepting nominations for
possible recipients of the Image Award so look into your circle
of friends, acquaintances, and others who have affected the
disability community in a positive way and nominate them today.

how many places people have traveled to with a DateAble sipper
cup. For me, the cup has traveled from Alaska to Hawaii to
Toronto and then all the way to Australia. So here's where you
come in. We'd like you to take your DateAble sipper cup on a
trip or two with you and have your picture taken at a landmark
with your cup. For example, if you are going to New York City,
have your picture taken in Times Square or at the Empire State
Building with.jpg)
your DateAble sipper cup. We'll put that picture in the
newsletter and on the website to say "thanks" for traveling with
DateAble.
