Family Photos: Have you been wanting a family photo for years but can't find a photographer that understands autism? You're in luck...Charlene Shawa, from Shawa Photography (http://www.shawaphotography.com/)

will have a booth set up to take family photos. She will be taking 5 shots per family and will email you the best one (at no charge!) Charlene is a TACA mom so understands autism. We also have our amazing photographer that took event photos last year

coming too!

You do not have to be a TACA member to attend, all families with autism are welcome!!

We want all families with autism to enjoy this day. The cost of the event is being offset by the following sponsors:

Family Dentistry, AHP Associated Hygienics Products, Building Bridges Therapy,

Bradstreet Wellness Center, Master-Supplements, Essential Communication, Wellness Pharmacy, Allergy Free Foods, Kids Creek Therapy, The Center for Music Therapy, Cobblestone Therapy, Blue Ribbon Foods, Robyn , and Pamela's Products. Without

these wonderful companies this event would not be happening.

Our goal is to create a day/event where families with autism can relax and enjoy the day. An event where you do not have to worry if your child has a melt down because we all understand. No funny looks, whispers, etc...just

a fun day with other families who understand autism. SO, mark your calendar, register and invite

your friends!

Volunteers: WE NEED THEM! If you know of someone (therapist, family member, friend, etc) that would like to volunteer to help at the event please have them email

jackie.moore @ tacanow.org .

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

We hope to see you on May 19th!! Please forward this email to help spread the word!
