Thanks to:

Humane Society of Indianapolis, where animals have mattered for more than 100 years. John Aleshire, Connie Swaim, Batman and Jedi Knight taught us about the connections between animals and humans.

The Athenaeum Foundation, an anchor in this community, provides lots of exercise for our minds and bodies in so many ways. Thanks to our instructor team: Ann Daly, Alicia Strong and Cassie Stockamp!

Meridian Street United Methodist Church offered a tasty lunch that fed our bodies, and some music that did the same for our souls. Part of what we experienced there was unexpected!

Joy's House, hidden in plain sight on Broad Ripple Avenue, offered a warm welcome. Their work that supports adults and those who love them enables families to stay together and learn from each other every day. It is indeed a place full of joy.

Easter Seals Crossroads, nestled among many other nonprofits at 47th and Keystone, offered each guest a slightly different experience, just as every child, youth or adult that they serve needs something very different – and receives important services tailored to those needs.

The Indiana School for the Blind and Vision Impaired, a gem on the hill among the lush trees College Avenue, reminded us that few among us don't have a vision challenge or know someone who does, and their statewide reach touches thousands of Hoosiers each day.

With that, we bring the 2011 Spirited Chase to a close. Thanks for choosing this as one of your Spirit and Place Festival events.

And just to get you thinking – the theme for next year is "Play" and in 2013, we'll explore "Risk." We hope to see you next year!
