GIVING TUESDAY: CREATING A SPECTRUM OF OPPORTUNITY WE NEED YOUR HELP! As part of this year’s giving season campaign, ASGA is utilizing #GivingTuesday as a time to GIVE to others! There are more than 70 adults living at The Blick Center group homes with only 10% of them receiving engagement from family members. ASGA wants to support these individuals during our GIVING SEASON! Every $25 donated gives a resident a gift "box" filled with recreational, essential, and entertainment items! Help us meet our goal of $2,000 for #GivingTuesday before December 2, and spark joy in our community this holiday season!

COFFEE, TEA & AUTISM Are you interested in meeting people who have also been impacted by autism? Join our online Facebook group or come to one of the Coffee, Tea & Autism meetings in your county! What parents are saying: “I came to my first meeting looking for ways to be a better parent to my son with autism. And while I got that, this group became more than a class or just information. The group has helped me become a more confident mother. It is a safe place to share stories that other friends would not understand. We share both the joy of the advances and disappointment and fear of setbacks. While everyone's experience is different, so much power comes from realizing you are not alone". Upcoming Meetings: Kent/Stow - Facilitated by Mary Richards, Friday, Nov 20 and Dec 4 at 7:00 PM Panera Bread in Stow Ravenna - Facilitated by Trina Bullard, Tuesday, Nov 24 at 10:00 AM via Zoom Online Facebook Group - JOIN HERE |
