After 30 years of Ms. Wheelchair USA & 20 years of service through The Dane Foundation, there are so many people, companies, & organizations that have helped us, help others. This month we will be sharing our "Thankful Thank Yous" each day. Join us in the celebration & thanks!

Our First Thankful Thank You is for volunteer Mary Reed! Mary has been volunteering & donating to The Dane Foundation for many years. She joined the MWUSA Team, & now is here for several weeks each summer to help make MWUSA happen. We're Thankful for @MaryJoReed!

The Elves are all lined up and waiting for you to give them a name!!! Visit our Elf "office" to choose an elf and give them a great name! They can't get to work for Project Elf without a name!!!

FYI…I have been a fan of @SpiritAirlines for awhile but not today. I have three boxes of donated clothes & toys for kids with disabilities to bring back for Project Elf. I asked them to add them for free or a reduced rate. Not only do they want me to pay, but double. #shame
