Calendar

A huge thank you to all who participated in the first annual ASNEW Walk for Autism on September 22.  It was a beautiful day for our 300 + walkers.  We raised $5000.00!  Profits will be used to fund chapter activites for our members in Northeast Wisconsin.  Plans are already in the works for next year's walk.  A special thank you to Michelle Charlier and Mary Rinehart, our walk chairpersons

Upcoming Events

Several parents have asked about bringing children with very high functioning autism/Asperger Syndrome together for organized social events and play dates.  Contact Lisa Dillhunt to add you/your child's name to the list of those interested.  We are also looking for parents who would be willing to assist with organization for the group.
