Today is World Autism Awareness Day, some food for thought:
"They do not suffer from their disorder but they do suffer with how we treat them."
~Tyler Durdin

We are very happy to be able to continue our support of the Ann Davis Transition House.
Christine was thrown in feet first, so she was unable to answer our specific questions around opportunities and the lack of participation from their families for our annual Kids Christmas Party. However, she did bring an update and outlined all the programs the have available.
They now have 2 houses they keep for their clients, and very client is able to stay with children for 30 days. A stark reality in the fact that these services are increasing in need, not only because of Chilliwack's growing population but because people are not tolerating abuse in their lives anymore.
I think the most shocking thing we learned is that there is a current 3 month wait list to get access to counseling.
The Ann Davis Society is working on trying to reduce this time, but that comes in partnership with many other shareholders.

We ended the meeting with Happy Bucks, and for the good of Kiwanis,
Make it a great one,

Kiefer and Michelle
