A Message From Our President
Welcome to August! I hope you are all having a wonderful, fun filled summer! Our final
Family Beach Day of the year will take place on
August 25th at
Moonlight Beach in
Encinitas, and we would love to have you join us as we finish out the summer season! While our support groups are on hiatus for the summer months, we will still be holding our monthly
Family Pizza and Pool Party as well as our monthly
Family Gymnastics Night, so feel free to bring your family for some inclusive fun!
We are looking forward our 2nd Annual
Lights! Camera! Autism! Film and Art Event
on
September 15th
. Featuring an art reception with local autistic artists and autistic musicians as well as films both created by and about people with autism, you won't want to miss this chance to celebrate the many talented people in our community! Our Fall Family Camp is also coming up soon, so save the date for the weekend of October 5th-7th, and join us at YMCA Camp Marston in Julian for a great weekend of family fun in a supportive and judgement free atmosphere. You won't want to miss it!
Thanks so much,
Amy Munera
