Trisha Breitlow, the Executive Director of the Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation (M-NASR) discussed the agency and how it provides and facilitates year-round recreation programs and services for children and adults with disabilities who live in the member-district communities. Member Park Districts are: Des Plaines, Golf-Maine, Morton Grove, Niles, Park Ridge, Skokie, and Lincolnwood. M-NASR is one of several special recreation associations (SRAs), which are unique to the state of Illinois. SRAs are formed when two or more units of local government combine to form a cooperative which then provides recreational services to individuals with disabilities within that jurisdiction. M-NASR was the second SRA formed and is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year. Trisha will be discussing the programs, services and opportunities M-NASR provides for individuals with disabilities.
