Autism Awareness Day - Preperations

We have been in contact with the events organiser at KK castle and will be meeting with her next week to discuss the formalities of holding a family picnic in the grounds on Sunday 1st April to celebrate Autism awareness day. Hopefully we will have full details in time for the next meeting on the 7th.

Kids Social Club !

On Tuesday we discussed further the idea of starting up a club for the children where they could come along and 'hang out' play games etc.

I received a call today from Noreen who runs the Special needs support group, and she told me they have sucessfully started up just such a club based at the Father McGrath centre.

I have invited her along to the next meeting so we can have a chat about the possibility of joining forces on this project !

Text Service

Following on from discussions at Tuesday's meeting ...  it was decided in order to keep the text service running as smoothly as possibly and to avoid nuisance texts, that everyone on the current list should be sent a sms to ask if they would like to continue receiving updates for the group.

If you would like to stay on our text list please either reply with 'yes' or contact us using the email address provided under the contact tab of the blog by Friday 20th Jan.

Many thanks
