The American Association of People with Disabilities runs the internship program in which Stacy (featured below) participated. The application deadline for this year’s program is Dec. 1, 2006. I tried to find a direct link for anyone who might come upon this and be interested, but to be honest, I couldn’t find it on the association’s Web site. Ironically, the site wasn’t terribly friendly for my vision disability. Many of the links are blue on a blue green background. There may be some way to alter that and I just didn’t find it – I just didn’t have time to hunt for the button if there was one.

Wouldn't be cool to have an HPS'er working on the Hill? I wish I'd known about the program in time to get it into the newsletter!

In a bowl, combine all ingredients with hands. Refrigerate 3 -4 hours, or preferably overnight. Filling (for...
