Hello
I hosted our first picnic/potluck this past weekend In case you havent read before I have this vision for a Center for Autism to intially start in the Inland Empire. It would consist of any and all services for anyone seeling help or asistance. I have my vision posted on a past exerpt . This picnic was a "lets get started and see what kind of interest is out there" type of get -to-gether. There were about 30 adults and a bunch of kids. there were 3 proffessors from 3 different colleges and 3 professionals who have holistic and vitamin supplement businesses. Although i would have liked a stronger attendance i continue to be encouraged as i have had several emails since the picnic with more families expressing interest and involvement for the next meeting which will be toward the end of september.
i had a questionaire for families to fill out and i talked about my ideas and things that we will need to get started --my commitment before the next meeting is to get answers about the 501 non profit status and seeking a permenent place and more funding ideas plus trying to get a "board or streering committee" formed.
i will be doing a few smaller meet and greet meetings with a few that were not able to attend the picnic -most of which are out of the immediate area like orange county and the high desert--
As for the picnic we all had a great time and it was rather casual and relaxed lots of good company , good food and great weather Anyone who has any inquiries , questions or would like more information or a small meeting to find out about my dream and reality for all families can email me at daksopendoor@aol.com
Thanks for viewing my journal!
