The National AgrAbility Project and Life Essentials staffed a booth at the 2015 APTA Combined Sections meeting in Indianapolis, IN, February 4-7. This show hosted over 8,800 physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, presenters, and exhibitors. The AgrAbility display featured the new Mahindra tractor with lift, Life Essentials product information, and a variety of information on AgrAbility, including SRAP contact information and an arthritis and agriculture display.

Amber Wolfe, Arthritis Foundation national partner, attended the National Farmers Union Women's Conference Jan. 17-21, at Clearwater Beach, FL. She staffed a display table of AgrAbility materials, presented a dinner discussion with all attendees, and handed out folders full of AgrAbility information to all attendees at dinner. Great networking connections were made!

ARTHRITIS/AGRABILITY CONFERENCE PLANNING COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEEDED!

This combined conference will hopefully draw in more attendees and will be a dynamic event. It is slated for the end of July-August in Chattanooga, TN. There are still positions available on the planning committee. Contact Amber Wolfe at awolfe@arthritis.org or JoBeth Rath at jbrath@abvi-goodwill.com for more
