Motivational speaker says, “No arms, no legs – no handicaps”
 A joint meeting of the local affiliates of American Society for Quality, National Association of Purchasing Management, and APICS: the Educational Society for Resource Management will meet at USI at 6 p.m. Tuesday, February 13. Students are invited to attend the dinner and a presentation by motivational speaker Brett Eastburn. Eastburn was born with a congenital birth defect known as Quadmembral Limbs Deficiency. He has no arms or legs, but believes you are handicapped only if you allow yourself to be. He considers his body a gift to be used to inspire others to be the best they can be. Throughout high school, the native Hoosier excelled at all types of sports, including basketball, baseball, swimming, and martial arts. He placed fourth in a national wrestling competition. He also is nationally recognized for his drawings and paintings. A professional speaker since 1990, Eastburn has captivated audiences the world over with his inspirational story. Registration for students attending the event begins at 6 p.m. in Carter Hall D in the University Center, and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. Other attendees should arrive at 7 p.m., with the presentation starting at 7:15 p.m. The cost for students to attend the dinner and presentation is $10, or students may attend the presentation alone for free.
