If you know someone or are living w a disability, check out the KC DiversAbility College & Career Fair, put on by The Transition Academy, @DSGKC and @SherwoodCenter. Get on-the-spot help with employment, education and government assistance. Thursday, April 6th.
Employment for workers with disabilities has reached a record high, but one Kansas City mom says it's not enough. Local groups are taking a more individualized approach to hiring, and finding ways to erase barriers. @KCURUpToDate has more. https://t.co/moIvtPOPcu

It's very chile: New Mexico boosted chile production during the last season, growing more than 53,000 tons of it. Meanwhile, New Mexico’s governor signed legislation that established the sweet smell of roasting green chile as the state’s official aroma.
