The 2nd Annual "Cutting The Silence" Family Festival is on August 1st!
Posted: June 3, 2009
On Saturday, August 1st, The Color Room Salon and Day Spa will be holding their annual "Cutting The Silence" family festival to raise funds for our
Helping Hand Program, which provides grants to local autism families.
This year's festival will be bigger and better than last year! Activities for the kids include painting with the Painted Penguin, basketball hoops, corn hole games, ring toss, moon walk and lots more! There will also be a live band and food available for purchase. We've got some great items to raffle off (like baseball tickets!) and there will also be a Bake Sale.
Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. Your ticket includes the entrance into the festival, a hot dog and drink. You can purchase tickets by calling The Color Room at 219.365.0173 and we will also have them for sale at our June 18th support group meeting. You can contact any of the board members to purchase tickets as well.
We are still looking for vendors to add to the excitement of this festival! If you or someone you know would like to purchase vendor table, please contact Gina at 219.365.0173 or email Lisa for more information.
Hope to see you there!
Date: Saturday August 1st
Time: 12pm - 6pm
Location: Color Room Salon & Day Spa Parking Lot

Looking for Summer Camps and Activities?
Posted: June 3, 2009
Get ready for summer! There are some really great opportunities for summer camps and activities for kids on the spectrum. Be sure to check out our
autism resources page for a listing of summer camps, sports activities and social skills groups.
Don't forget to check your local Parks department. I know several in the area are putting on summer programs for all kids - most times parents are welcome. For the high-functioning Autism or Asperger's, try to find groups/camps that your child has an interest in (Science Chicago has some cool science camps).
Attention Porter County Peeps!

Did you know that Porter County Mom Jennifer started a Meetup Group for the Valparaiso area? I just found about it recently myself and I have to say I'm so glad I found them! It's a group of parents who all have kids on the spectrum, organizing play-dates with the kids and GNO (girls night out) for the Mom's. It's a really fun group and a great way to connect with others. Just click on the badge above and come join us!
