JULY 17, 2001 MEETING

 To a larger group than her initial meeting Prez Gloria opened the meeting with a ton of announcements and ideas for the upcoming year.  AND a  reminder that the Board Meeting is this upcoming Thursday at the French restaurant Les Wings des Poullets Plus.

     Our speaker today was Ellen Munnelly from the pre-school at Many Help of Christians Catholic School in Parkland.  Ellen spoke about the need to provide education facilities for autistic children and gave a great program about autism in general, the practical and financial concerns for parents for autistic children, the various degrees of autism and the  practical limitations of a facility to try to deal with the education process.  This year they will start with six autistic children and have a program where the autistic and "normal" children will intermingle to give each  a chance to learn about and deal with each other.

A great program - thanks Drew!!!
