October is Autism Awareness Month!!!
Join your community for the 2nd ANNUAL CANDLELIGHT VIGIL Monday, October 01, 2007
7:00pm to 7:30pm
Proudly organized by
The Alliance for Families with Autism (AFA)
For those of us who remember last year’s event, it was cold and rainy. Yet everyone who participated in the first annual Candlelight Vigil truly felt that is was something very wonderful and worthwhile, and wanted to ensure another vigil would be organized this year. The vigil is not a political event. There will be no signs however there will be lots of candles across the province in your community. We want to honour all individuals and families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), related disorders.
We want to tell the world, with our candles, that every individual with ASD has the right to "SHINE".
