Awesome Advocate at Wolverine Farm Publishing Co. & Bookstore!
We had a great time with Evan Brengle, manager at Wolverine Farms Bookstore Monday afternoon.
Evan, who has been working to help establish Wolverine Farm Publishing and Bookstore for over 5 years, was a happy, easy going gentleman. As the bookstore manager, Evan embodies everything scholarly; including his favorite pastime, which, of course, was reading!
As we were talking, Evan mentioned he saw Nick’s Spread the Word presentation several years ago at Rocky Mountain High School while working as a Paraprofessional. This is job requires a man who is very kind with a very large heart. We witnessed this amazing amount of patience and understanding, as Evan interacted with the youngest, most wild and unfiltered “employee” of Awesome in Action, Ms. Olivia Rose.
Evan was very patient with our lovely assistant, Olivia, and her sneaky attempts at joining the photo op!
Evan invited us to meet at Wolverine Farms Letter Press and Publick House to discuss the carrying Nick’s children’s books, and gave Nick the opportunity to read Helping in Action during Little Wolverine Story Hour at the Wolverine Farms Bookstore. Date TBA!
Evan was quick to offer many opportunities to connect with Awesome in Action, and to share all the great events hosted by the Publick house. For instance, coming up this Friday, Sept. 30th from 8-10 pm, will be a Talent Show.
We were delighted at the opportunity to connect with this nonprofit company which focuses on literacy and arts in Northern Colorado. It is always awesome when 2 like-minded businesses can pair up to become a stronger source of education and awareness for our community.
We think Evan is a stellar Human Being, and are so excited to see where this connection is Able to lead!
The ADA Symposium – A National Experience
Back in June, Nick and the AiA team were fortunate enough to be welcomed as an
exhibitor at the National ADA Symposium, held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Denver. How lucky that it was held in Denver this year! Next year, Chicago will host the Symposium.
We saw advanced technologies, feats of engineering, and met educators, business people, designers, counselors, government folks, and most of them had some disability. Yet here they were, changing their own situations and the lives of others.
It took Nick a minute to realize this was not a real dog!
Nick discovered one very cool Water Wheels
“beach wheelchair.” He is fairly sure it will come in handy during triathlons and other water fun!
Connecting with new friends and reconnecting with old, we had a most amazing conference!!
