At long last Spring is here. This hasn't been a snowy winter but it was a "long, cold, lonely winter" for me. I am so happy to greet spring and sunny days this year. April is just a few weeks away and that means Autism Awareness and Acceptance. It's a busy month for us here at the Center as you can imagine.
We kick off the Month with the Light It Up Blue Celebration at UMass Medical School on April 2nd. This is a fun family centered event with kid friendly activities, food and an information fair. We end the evening at 7:45 PM by going outside and watching the Medical School be illuminated with blue light. See below for all the details .
Those who live in the North central Area are invited to join us at the Upper Common in Fitchburg on Sunday April 7th at 6:30 PM for Fitchburg's Light It Up Blue initiative. If you know of other events let us know and we can spread the word!
April 11th will find us at the State House with AFAM for Autism Advocacy Day . This is a great way to meet your legislators and share your story please click here for the legislative priorities for this year. If you cant make it to Boston you can visit your Senator & Representative in their home office to share your story and help put a face to the issues.
April also includes a vacation week and we've activities planned for Tuesday through Friday including the annual Spring Egg Hunt and visit with the Bunny - always a favorite.
And because there is so much to do in terms of advocacy and celebrating we've spilled over into May for our Annual 5K Run and Walk . We hope if you've found classes here or activities for your kids we sponsor helpful that you will join us and help raise the funds that make all this possible. We can't do it without your support!
Have a great week .
