A Message From Our President
Welcome to 2017! Here at Autism Society San Diego we are pleased to have so many great things to look forward to in the new year. We will be hosting our first ever Spring Family Camp at YMCA Camp Marston on the weekend of March 31st through April 2nd - what a great way to kick off Autism Awareness Month! This is just one of many exciting programs we will be offering this year so be sure to follow us on Facebook and join our group on meetup.com to stay informed of all of our events!
As we look forward to this new year, it is also the perfect time to reflect back on the past year. We celebrated our 50th Anniversary of providing support to the San Diego autism community, and we were overwhelmed by the response we received from all of you. We are lucky to have such a wonderful and giving community - we could not do what we do without each and every one of you.
Wishing you all a very happy and healthy new year!
Thanks,
Amy Munera
