Missouri Chapter Provides Donation to The Special Learning Center
National APWA—www.apwa.net Missouri Chapter APWA—http://missouri.apwa.net
Missouri Chapter President Eric Landwehr visited the Special Learning Center in Jefferson City and delivered a check in
the amount of $1,000. This money was raised at our recent spring conference with the cooperation of our luncheon
speaker, former MLB pitcher Tom Henke. His daughter Amanda is a former student of the Special Learning Cen-
ter. Shown in the picture with Eric is Tom Henke, SLC director Debbie Hamler and one of their students. The chapter’s
donation will go to provide five of the mobility cars shown in the picture. “Go Baby Go” is a program that provides
modified, ride-on cars to young children with disabilities so they can move around independently. The modified toy cars
give children with mobility disabilities a chance to play and socialize with their peers more easily.
The Missouri Chapter APWA appreciates the generosity of our sponsors in helping support the
educational opportunities made possible to our members.
