ASLA March 2017 Newsletter

March 2017

Remember that all funds raised in L.A. stay in L.A. at ASLA . . .

Autism Society of Los Angeles proudly launched the Self Advocates Speakers Bureau in the Valley! This month, we brought together a group of Self Advocates who joined us for breakfast in the valley at Tierra del Sol. The above picture shows the incredible group. A big thank you to Noah's Bagels and Trader Joes in Manhattan Beach for the delicious breakfast items. Everyone had a wonderful time learning new skills and making new friends.

Upcoming Events in March and April!

In today's climate, many folks are looking to get engaged in their local community - Please consider volunteering with ASLA. Our expression of interest form is HERE.
