This Friday, May 1st, 2026, at LTDO will be moving into our new office at 1280 Iroquois Ave, Suite 106, Naperville, IL, and will be staffed starting Friday May 8th, 2026. Many volunteers stepped it up and put their POST-IT on the May posterboard schedule so the hours will be:

*And to be sure – the first day we are open is *Friday May 8^th!

We will be closed for Memorial Day Weekend, which is Saturday, May 23^rd, Sunday, May 24^th, and Monday, May 25^th this year, so everyone can enjoy their holiday.

So far, there are no evening hours. However, we expect that will happen as the need arises, probably in the summer, as long as we can get volunteers.

Staff responsibilities include greeting and signing in visitors, answering the phone, guiding volunteers to various tasks such as folding and stuffing literature, addressing envelopes or postcards, text and phone banking, receiving literature and signs, and whatever might need to be done.  Feel free to suggest any other things LTDO should be doing!

The ever popular “Post-It” posterboard will be available at the May 11th LTDO Membership Meeting so volunteers can sign up for June office hours. Also you can let Sue Quigley know when you might want to volunteer and I’ll put you on the schedule.

Whistles are by far the most effective tactic for protecting people from brutal ICE raids. I have been having whistles 3-D printed for this purpose and bundling them with instruction cards. They are VERY LOUD when blown with only modest effort. Most have been printed with recycled fiber.

So far, I have handed out over 60 Whistles with cards. They’ll be available at most LTDO events; please PM me on Facebook if you’d like to pick up whistles from my porch.

Report any sightings at icirr.org/fsn or call 855-435-7693.

State Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, LTDO member and PC, has once again stepped up to advocate for the disability community. The issue at hand is a proposed move by the state to drastically cut hours and funding for services that benefit individuals with developmental disabilities residing in group homes. Rep. Yang Rohr joined with other members of the General Assembly to lobby the Governor’s office to rethink this decision. Thanks to this action, the state announced last week that it has postponed these proposed cuts indefinitely. We thank Rep. Yang Rohr for her continued advocacy for, and friendship shown to, the disability community.
