At Our Most Recent Meeting...
...we welcomed Mary Fox and Kate Dansereau from Community Autism Resources (CAR). Together, they provided an overview of their organization and the free services they offer to individuals with autism and their families throughout Southeastern Massachusetts. The presentation highlighted CAR's mission of providing individualized support, educational resources, community connections, and recreational opportunities that help improve quality of life and foster inclusion for people on the autism spectrum. They also offer free training, Mass Health sign-up support, an office to host 1-on-1 meetings, and much more. If you or someone you know would benefit from connecting with CAR, you can learn more and do so on their website, community-autism-resources.com.
Thanks to Mary and Kate for joining us for lunch and sharing about Community Autism Resources.
Happy & Sad Bucks
Dave C. had 20 Happy Bucks collected in the donation jar at Family Fun Day and asked everyone to share their notes and feedback about the event on the Family Fun Day debrief meeting on July 9.
Dick had a Happy Buck for the Taunton River Festival taking place on Saturday.
Jen had two Happy Bucks for Dave and Katie and for the success of Family Fun Day.
Carol had four Happy Bucks: Meghan successfully taught an older student to read and write; congratulations to Dave on a successful Family Fun Day; great job by John on the grill; and a weekend trip to New Hampshire. She had one sad buck because the rambunctious prize wheel spinners knocked a piece off the prize wheel!
John had a happy buck for the completion of a successful business move in Middleborough and for the school year ending soon which will ease the mornings.
