The Importance of Outreach
Colin and Oscar Roze practice on my speech device
I am beaming happy, elated, and completely in awe of the opportunities that I have been given in the last year. Who else has been so lucky as to be invited to speak at schools, social organizations, and programs throughout the Midwest to do what they enjoy most?
It does not matter to me whether I sell 1 book, or 100 books in a month; what really matters to my heart and soul is that I have done what I am truly passionate about; teach. I know that I have brought at least a bit knowledge to those who have heard me present. I know that I can continue to raise awareness about individuals with special needs wherever I go.

It makes me feel so grateful that I have had a chance to speak at big venues such as TEDxFront Range and Lululemon; but also, that I have had so many individual interactions with children and adults alike within my community. I feel my confidence grow with each conversation I have that ends with a smiling person walking away from me.

I have the power to change the world; and I am doing it, one presentation, one person at a time!
Sue Schnitzer-Volunteer and Awesome Community Advocate
We met Sue through a phone call to the Glenwood Springs branch of the Garfield County Libraries. Within minutes of talking to us on the phone, Sue had looked up Nick’s book, and agreed to meet with us after the half marathon Mountain to Valley Race with Athletes in Tandem.
An avid biker and runner, Sue was actually going to be at the race herself…pushing a runner for Athletes in Tandem!
Sue hunted Nick down after the race, and after checking out Nick’s book, Helping in Action, she took some photos with us. Sue has volunteered to help promote Nick’s book throughout the Garfield Branch libraries! In addition to helping out Awesome in Action, she gave us some great ideas of things to do while visiting Glenwood Springs. With her suggestion, we took the tram up to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park to watch a free outdoor concert!
We really enjoyed our time with Sue, and hope to see her perform at the Superheros Songfest at the Main Ft. Collins library on June 22, 2015!
Sue Schnitzer is a true Awesome Advocate, and we are so excited to have gotten a chance to meet her!
