Meet the SAIL Staff
The Temperature may be dropping, but the SPAR
program is hopping.
What is SPAR you ask? SPAR is an inclusive so-
cial and recreational program for people of all abilities
through Superior Alliance for Independent Living the
Disability Network of the U.P.
Along with having our events in Marquette we will
now be traveling across the U.P. to spread the word
about living a healthy lifestyle. Those who are interest-
ed in the SPAR activities or have questions, are strong-
ly encouraged to call us at 906-228-5744. Ask for Mo!
