Autism Group Updates
A few quick news items from the autism group. Heeeeeere they are!
* "Celebration Autism": This sounds really neat... The group is working together with LAMB Theatre, and producing a program for kids. We're calling it "Celebration Autism." There IS an age limit, and a maximum number of kids that the program can hold.
* Fun Day: Our "day-o-fun" is on the way! It's this Saturday, October 11. The event will be at the Goodwill Camp, from 4:00-8:00 p.m. The address is 520 152nd Street, in South Sioux City Nebraska. It's across from Martin's Airfield.
Pumpkins, food, games, a hay ride, and a campfire will be waiting for you.

An important informational memo about autism legislation:
--------------------------------------------------
Contact Congress and Urge Their Support for Autism Research Funding for 2009
Today is a critical time for you to take action on behalf of funding for autism research! Right now, members of the House and Senate are debating the final version of the Fiscal 2009 Defense Appropriations bill. We are seeking $15 million for the Department of Defense (DoD)-funded Autism Spectrum Disorders Research Program (ASDRP) in the Appropriations bill. This critical program will further the field of autism research and help improve treatments and interventions for children with autism.
In the House, Congressman John Murtha and Congressman Bill Young, the Chairman and Ranking Member of of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, will be ultimately responsible for this important funding decision. In the Senate, the decision will fall to Senator Daniel Inouye and Senator Thad Cochran, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. These are the key players that need to be contacted by your House Representative and Senators today.
Additional info on how YOU can help is found here.
