Hey Chicago!
We're packing up and getting ready to see you at the Lincoln Park Boat Club once again! We've got a few kids signed up, including one we met a few years ago whose mom just sent us an email:
"I am also happy to report that my son J--who paddled for the first time with you-- now paddles around in his own kayak independently! It's so great that you gave him such a warm, reinforcing experience. As a result, he is not afraid of trying new things and actually we just got back from a trip to Egypt and Europe--everything went smoothly--not bad for a kid on the autism spectrum! I'm attaching a picture."
These sorts of emails make us realize what an impact this event can have not only globally but on kids here in the US as well. It's a great day and EVERYONE's INVITED TO PADDLE WITH US!! Although the event is open to children with autism--anyone can join us!
Grown-ups are also invited to share a drink with us on Thursday night at the kick-off event. All of the details for both events can be found at: www.globalautismproject.org/paddle.
Looks like the weather is expected to cooperate with us and it's going to be a great weekend! We can NOT wait to see you there!
Also- if any autism professionals or others are interested in meeting with our organization on Friday, we have a few more spaces open, and we'd love to talk with you!
A BIG thank you and congratulations to Liz Wissner who has been working hard to make this event happen in Chicago since 2005! Come on down to our Thursday night kickoff event and check out some of the amazing prizes she's managed to get her hands on for the raffle!
See you soon! Email me with any questions at molly@globalautismproject.org.
