Rain Garden Stewards will help maintain adopted rain garden areas for a minimum of one time per month for one year. Learn more about both programs and apply at fishers.in.us/Sustainability.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October 1 marks the start of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a pivotal time that sheds light on the importance of inclusive employment practices. Let us remind one another that talent knows no boundaries and to focus on promoting environments where individuals are judged by their abilities rather than their disabilities.
The Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability works year-round to provide individuals with disabilities in our community with meaningful and rewarding employment opportunities that benefit not only the employee but the employer as well. Check out our blog post here for local resources for disability employment.
