If anyone is interested in joining our planning group, please let me know. We meet monthly, the days are varied because of my work schedule, but we always have fun and get alot of things done! Mom's and Dads are always welcome to come and share ideas on making our support group a great place to be!
We will be having our fundraising Golf Tournament on April 25 at Woodlake Golf Course in Monroe and need everyone's help in getting sponsors and golfers! We have a goal to raise no less than $5,000. This will help provide scholarships for every camper, allowing us to charge only $150 for the camp. This cost will help with staffing and materials we will need. Thanks in advance for your help.
Speaking of camp, if you plan for your child to attend, please fill out the attached application and mail it in no later than March 15, the sooner the better. We are beginning to receive alot of applications for teachers and parapros and it's going to just blow you away to see the quality of staff we will have at our camp. We have ABA therapists, SLP therapists, autism consultants, autism teachers...... I am very excited! The theme for our camp is going to be a beach theme with water fun and crafts every day that your children will love. Don't delay in registering them, I am certain the spots will quickly fill in once we reach Spring Break!
Have a great week and I hope to see you all on Feb. 15th.
