July  2018
HELLO SUMMER!
 

We had so much fun at our Sunset at Southwick's Zoo event last month! It was great seeing so many friends and families enjoying the beautiful evening. This month, we are hosting a family pool party at the indoor pool in Sudbury - space is limited and registration is required. This event is free to families, thanks to the generosity of The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.

Our yearlong 25th Anniversary celebration continues! This month's giveaway is BIG - and the raffle opens today, July 2nd! We are giving away a mini golf party package at Putts & More in Holliston. If you are interested in winning this awesome party package, click here for more information. We will draw a winner on July 17th.

Please note, our support groups are on hiatus for July and August, but, this does not mean support is not available! Please call our office or email anyone on our staff if you need to talk or set up a meeting. We are here for you. 
 
Lastly, just a reminder...summer office hours are in effect for our staff as we accommodate vacation plans. We encourage you to set up an appointment before dropping by - we wouldn't want to miss you!
