These increases in federal funding have allowed our communities to build and strengthen programs where it counts–in community-based settings."

The conference has always been held in Punta Gorda, FL, in part to allow William White, who lives in the area, to attend--which he has every year. This year a second conference has been added in Colorado to serve the western U.S. For more information see: ccarconference.org.
