This issue marks the 100th issue of Horizon and our first email version.

Over the years Horizon has been the place for celebrating the achievements of Scope, sharing the successes of our clients and staff, thanking the many volunteers who have assisted Scope and advocating to the government on issues of importance to people living with a disability.

Through Horizon, Scope has been able to share with the community so much.

Horizon will continue to share with the community the ongoing progress we make towards people living with a disability participating in their communities as everyday Australians.
