The Gregory Center Miracle League 90210 was on the agenda at the Beverly Hills City Hall Meeting for the Community Services agenda on November 27 at 2:00pm. We are fighting to get a field at La Cienega Park located on Gregory Drive(of course-could it get more perfect?). Our presentation was well-received. The Gregory Center was placed on the agenda of items for the recreation planning committee to consider as conceivable uses for park space. Please help us let Beverly Hills know that inclusion is an important agenda and that th Miracle League is a great place to show our community support for inclusion in our recreational activities. Every kid should have the opportunity to play ball! Please support us by contacting the Beverly Hills City Council and letting them know that this is a matter that you would like to see supported by the Beverly Hills community.

The Gregory Center is bringing the Miracle League to Los Angeles!
The Gregory Center is actively in the throes of gearing up to bring the Miracle League and a new field to southern California. Now officially headquartered in Beverly Hills, the Gregory Center will be working diligently to help to increase the availability of services and resources for children with disabilities in the Los Angeles County area. As our entry effort, we will be focusing on getting a Miracle League program up and running in the Los Angeles area. We will be establishing ourselves as a southern California Amtryke regional center as well. Efforts will begin in the early fall to set up CP and Autism Support Groups in the surrounding communities and to recreate our therapeutic dance program. We will be working closely with Dr. Lane Scott to develop our hyperbaric oxygen program in the Beverly Hills area to begin making those services available in the Southern California area. Keep your eye out on our progress as we begin networking and settling into our new home city! We look forward to enjoying the support of the Beverly Hills community and its surrounding locales. We look forward to working with the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, as we commence the development of our new Beverly Hills location. We are excited for the endless possibilities that the upcoming year will bring!
The Gregory Center will be hard at work this year in the Los Angeles area raising the funds needed to bring the Gregory Center Miracle League 90210 to the Los Angeles area with a field complex of its very own.
If you have a business and would like to be a sponsor, please notify me immediately. I am putting my personal funds into securing a league for the Los Angeles area. Now I need your help to make it happen!
If you are an organization and looking for a worthwhile charitable activity to which to donate your time and/or your funds, please contact me.
If you have grantwriting skills or web designing skills and would be willing to volunteer some time, WE NEED YOU!
Come with me on this exciting journey to something very special! Help me create the "Field of Dreams" for our real life "Angels in the Outfield!"
For further information, contact cheryl@gregorycenter.org or call Dr. BryantBruce @ 310-280-3100 . You may also use our toll free number listed at the top of the screen.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHEYENNE FISCHER!!!!
Cheyenne has finally completed the series of numerous surgeries that have allowed her tracheostomy to be removed. Cheyenne has a newly reconstructed trachea(windpipe) and is now breathing on her own through her nose and mouth for the first time in her life. Although she still has some post-surgical vocal cord swelling, we expect to be hearing from Ms. Cheyenne with her own voice very soon...and we think she has a lot to say! She took Gregory with her as her guardian angel and they were a very successful team. Cheyenne is still in Ohio, but we expect her back home within the week.
The Gregory Center wishes to join the Fischer family in extending a heartfelt expression of gratitude to all who contributed to assisting Cheyenne in achieving her trip to Cincinnati. The reward of your generous contributions. Cheyenne will finally be able to really swim with her sisters for the first time! Please enjoy reading the prior posts from the Fischer family below!

The Gregory Center named California Regional Amtryke Center
The Gregory Center has recently been designated as the only California Regional Amtryke Center. We invite you to contact us if you know of a child who might be able to benefit from the use of an adaptive tricycle. We will evaluate the child and assist the child in trying out and/or obtaining an Amtryke.
Western College of Natural Health
The Gregory Center looks forward to the opening of The Western College of Natural Health. We are eagerly anticipating that the college, originally founded by Mr. John Scott, father of Dr. Lane Scott, will formally begin operating under our Department of Education and Advocacy very soon. Some preliminary offerings through the college began in Spring 2004 in Campbell, California.
The Academy of New Life Awakeningsis well on its way to becoming a reality. This inclusive school will combine hyperbaric oxygen therapy, aquatic therapy, neurological organization therapy(patterning), traditional therapies, nutrition, assistive technology, and a number of other interventional approaches with a strong academic education to provide an environment in which all children can learn and thrive together without barriers. The school, which is to be located in Campbell, CA will be the pilot school. It is to be the first of a number of such schools which The Gregory Centerwill develop under the watchful guidance of Dr. Lane Scott, for whom the Academy will be a dream fulfilled.

The angel of the Lord took the hand of Gregory Bryant-Bruce and led him home.
How fast can you run, Gregory? ... I can run fast now!
How high can you jump, Gregory? ... I can jump high now!
How far can you see, Gregory? ... I can see far beyond the rainbows now!
How long can you play, Gregory? ... I can play all day now!
How long can you laugh, Gregory? ... I can laugh forever now!
How many angels can you see, Gregory? ... I can see so many they are swinging
me around and around and around, throwing me in the air and catching me...
and I am safe, warm and loved... in the arms of the angels and our Lord.

In Loving Memory of JOHNNIE L. COCHRAN, JR.
October 2, 1937-March 30, 2005
Please join the Gregory Center in remembering one of our founding board members,paying loving tribute to Attorney Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Mr. Cochran contributed generously of himself with regards both to the Gregory Center and to little Gregory. When asked to eulogize little Gregory, Cochran commented, "What can you say about a child that is wiser than everybody in the room put together?" I now ask the question, "what can I say about such a man?" We, at the Gregory Center, will be forever grateful for his numerous contributions. My life personally has been made richer for having known him. I am sure he is in Heaven bouncing Gregory on his knee...
