Calling all Local Autism Service Providers

Autism Speaks DC is looking for local autism service providers to take part in our resource fair for the 2009 October 31 walk. If you are or know of any local businesses from hair cutters to speech pathologists that would like to reserve a booth please tell us so we can get them on the list and into the resource fair.

Walk for Autism Kickoff at WUSA9

Wednesday June 10th WUSA9 graciously allowed Autism Speaks DC to host its kickoff with a variety of supporters in attendence.  Pictured above are a few of the Puzzle Pack Interns holding on to a Walk for Autism car magnet (contact us for more information on how to get your hands on one) and below you may recognize meteorologist Topper Shutt with ASDC supporter, Randy Sumanga.  The kickoff provided marketing materials to team captains and reminded everyone of what, rather who, we're volunteering for.

For more information regarding the walk on October 31st or how to get involved in the events leading up to it, please contact one of the members on the side roll.
