SKIP A STARBUCKS FOR AUTISM!!!!!!!!!

Skip A Starbucks For Autism! Please pass this along to friends and family! We need your support!Autism Solution Center desperately needs your help. When we started this around 5.5 years ago, we were the ONLY organization worldwide that did everything autism under one roof and at NO COST. We were the first to have the vision of a "St. Jude for Autism," if you will, and we promise not to stop until that vision has been accomplished! There are too many people who need help and have no access to it. The long-term vision is taking this national model and opening an Autism Solution Center in each state within the U.S., to provide NO COST services to those in need.We do need a lot of help and support in many ways. First, anything you can do to help forward our information to as many people as possible is CRITICAL! We have the get the word out about ASC and what we are trying to accomplish. This is a HUGE undertaking and will require international support for it to come to fruition.Secondly, I am on a mission to engage the international public in a fundraising drive. It's called "Skip A Starbucks For Autism!" I know most people don't have disposable income, however, almost anyone has $5 to buy a Starbucks once in a while! I hear people tell me all the time that they are just too broke to be monthly contributors, however, they walk in my office with Starbucks in one quite often! I am simply asking one thing: Skip A Starbucks once a month and send ASC $5 instead to help us continue providing NO COST services to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders! It's really easy and everyone can do it!You can make donations online at:http://www.autismsolutioncenter.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=2&MMN_position=15:15ordownload a monthly donation form at: http://autismsolutioncenter.com/downloads/AuthorizationAgreement-DirectPayments.pdfWe just hired a new physician to see patients (at no cost) and we have to cover her salary and insurance, not to mention we have to build a new facility as we are out of space in our current building.Anything you can do to help would be GREATLY appreciated. WE NEED HELP to make this happen! Thank you for for any assistance you are willing to offer! PLEASE HELP ASC BY REPOSTING THIS BULLETIN IN ITS ENTIRETY.THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!Sincerely,Laura Corby, Founder/CEOAutism Solution Center, Inc.9282 Cordova Park RoadCordova, TN 38018(901) 758-8288laura@autismsolutioncenter.comhttp://www.autismsolutioncenter.com/

That is a great idea! To answer your question, Andrew is doing ok. We are in the process of trying to find a dr. that specializes in autism to see him. School is really helping him though, so I am encouraged by that. And yes, the buzz cut was much easier than dealing with taking him to the barber. That is by far the worst thing!!! Hopefully one day we can find someone like you guys have to come here and do it because I have no skills at cutting hair!! :)
