General Meeting Information

DARN meetings are usually scheduled for the 1st Monday of each month except when there is a National Holiday on or close to the first Monday of the month (ie. New Years, Memorial Day weekend, Independence Day weekend, and Labor Day weekend). When this occurs, we advance the meetings to the following Monday. Our meeting are from 7:00 to 8:30 at Christ United Methodist Church (CUMC) located at 3340 Shroyer Road in Kettering, OH (adjacent to the Fraze Pavilion, Fairmont High School, Kettering Municipal Building). CUMC’s contact information is 293-3151 and <http://www.Christumc.org/>.Parents, family, professionals, individuals with ASD, and mature youths with ASD are all welcome to join our discussions which cover issues and concerns related to ASD, PDD-NOS, High Functioning Autism (HFA), and related disorders.

In order to protect the privacy rights of those who are in attendance or mentioned during a DARN meeting, recording devices of any kind are not permitted in or during any portion of any DARN meeting or event without the express written consent of the coordinator(s) and those who are in attendance.

Child Care During MeetingsThe church has firm regulations on who can provide child care in their facility (ie. interviewed, back ground checked, trained, covered by their insurance, etc...). Child care for our monthly meetings is provided by the church’s hired staff.The cost for child care is $2.00 per child. Child care money will be collected during the meeting. Child care is available only by RSVP request and must be made directly to Christ UMC at 293-3151 prior to 3:30 P.M. on the Wednesday prior to our meeting. (Opps! You can try calling the Church anyway.) This allows the child care coordinator to schedule child care providers and arrange for coverage of individual providers if the individual providers know in advance that they are going to be unavailable to provide their support services. If you change your mind and do not need the child care provider for that night, please call and cancel as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Church is paying for someone to sit in an empty room and they will discontinue to offer this service.The church does require that you supply the disposable items your child will need to have a successful experience during their visit (ie. diapers, pull-ups, wipes, change of clothes, etc...).

Scheduling SpeakersDARN is scheduling speakers for the year 2007 for even numbered months (ie. Feb., April, June, August, Oct. & Dec.) If you know of a speaker that you would like to hear speak at DARN, please contact them to see if they are available to speak. Dates will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.Here is the criteria: must be willing to donate that night’s speaking engagement, 1 – 1 hour and 15 minutes speaking time, attendance ranges from 16 – 109 depending on the topic; screen & electrical available, large room, tables available.
