About Georgia Disability Advocates' Calendar (GDAC)
Placing a Georgia disability advocates' calendar website up on the Internet has been a high priority for the webmaster for quite some time now. The need to present an advocacy project for the 2005 Georgia Voices That Count (GVTC) advocate training program, of which the webmaster was a participant, provided that little extra umph that is sometimes needed to get something new up and running.
All information presented here will come from reputable resources freely and readily available to disability advocates and self~advocates in Georgia. Wherever possible, due credits will be given to the parties originally presenting the included information.
IMPORTANT!! The inherent nature of the information provided on this website is such that it can change absolutely without notice.
