PUBLIC
AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
We are working on ways to create public awareness
within the county about autism spectrum disorders and about
the services we provide as a chapter of the Autism Society
of America. There are two ways in which we need your help
with this public awareness effort. First, we are working to
ensure that all of the newspapers in our county publish information
about our monthly support group meetings. If you receive a
newspaper which currently does not publish this information,
please let us know and we will contact them and provide them
with the necessary information.
Second, we are working to ensure that our chapter brochures
are available at schools (both public and private), as well
as the offices of pediatricians, dentists, and other service
providers in our county. If you can bring brochures to your
child's school or to the office of your child's doctor,
dentist or other service provider, please let us know. We
have purchased stand-up literature holders which you can use
to display the brochures. Please contact Linda Carter-Ferrier
at (410) 551-0655 or leave an e-mail
message on the chapter's web site:

HELP WANTED:
CHAPTER LIBRARIAN
Many
of us have purchased and collected books and other material
about autism which we would be willing to make available
to others in the chapter to share. To make this effort
work efficiently, we would like to start a lending library
for the chapter, but we have one small problem: WE
NEED A LIBRARIAN!!
The librarian would be responsible for collecting together
all of the items which people are willing to loan and
share. Then a catalog of these items would be made,
which would be printed the newsletter. Requests for
items would be made to the librarian, who would coordinate
their pick-up or delivery, as well as their return.
If
you are interested in learning more about this important
and rewarding position, please contact Linda Carter-Ferrier
at (410) 551-0655 or leave an e-mail
message on the chapter's web site. www.annapolis.net/aaccasa/.
