A Message from our President - Amy Munera
|
Hello San Diego!
Thank you so much to everyone who came to our 50th Anniversary Gala on October 22nd! This spectacular event was a celebration of 50 years of service and support to the local San Diego autism community, and it was such a beautiful and special evening. It was wonderful to see so many board members, both past and present. It is thanks to the hard work and dedication of all those who came before me that I have the honor to be president of an organization that truly does make a difference in people's lives. Now we look forward to our next 50 years, thanks to the support of our amazing community!

As we approach the holiday season, this is the perfect time to reflect on the things that we are thankful for. Personally, I am most thankful for my three amazing sons, as well as living here
in beautiful San Diego. I am also thankful that I can look forward to another year of fun and learning at our support groups, family events, summer camps, and more. I hope to see many of you at these events!
Wishing you a happy November,
Amy
