Boyce Leads L’Arche Twin Cities
Bryan Boyce (MNLEND 2020-21) is the executive director of L’Arche Twin Cities and Cow Tipping Press. Both organizations incorporate the talents of people with and without disabilities. “Everyone is hungry for connection on a deep and authentic level," he said. "There are better, more empowering ways for people to decide who they live with and where they live and how they live.”
Having Real Choice in My Life
Rick Meives (pictured at right with his art teacher) is an artist with autism and Down syndrome who directs his own services. "Self-direction has given me years of love from a girlfriend, who died a few years ago, friends who mean the world to me, and a life I love," he writes in Impact. "I want that until I die."
He enjoys music, bowling, museums, and socializing. "I hope the changes in Washington do not sacrifice me and my friends."
