A Message From Our President
August is always a busy month for my family, and for us at Autism Society San Diego. Our summer camp program, Camp I CAN, has concluded at Toby Wells YMCA but is happening now at the Ecke YMCA, and once we are done at that location, AWARE, our adult recreation program, happens next! Surf Camp at La Jolla Shores also began in July and continues this month. So while our support groups may be on hiatus for the summer, we still have lots to do!
Our monthly family events continue over the summer without interruption, so be sure to stop by our Central San Diego Pool and Pizza Party, our Family Gymnastics Night, or our newest family event, our North County Pool Party at the Mottino YMCA in Oceanside! Their outdoor pool features a water slide and large splash pad and is a great way to burn off some energy on a warm summer evening!
Finally, you won't want to miss our third annual Lights! Camera! Autism! where we will be celebrating the many talented autistic people in our community. This event will feature an art reception with 21 local artists as well as a piano performance by an autistic musician that includes a hosted bar and appetizers, followed by
films produced and starring autistic individuals, including: the short film Ascent by Canyon Crest Academy students; short clips and post-production vignettes by Exceptional Minds of Los Angeles; and our feature film for the event, Autism Goes to College!
