Good
Times, Bad Times
"Lunch with Harvey" was a great success. KindTree
raised a record amount of funds - including over $1500
for Retreat Scholarships. The generous fun seekers who
attended this party are eager to help expand the availability
of our unique event to those who may be struggling in
these days of high unemployment. Scroll down a bit on
the Retreat page HERE to find
the scholarship application. We also had a great time
- even Harvey, who liked us all very much - or so he told
Elwood.
This winter KindTree decided to expand our Art Show significantly
with a second show. This new effort will feature two popular
and prolific local artists, Mary-Minn Sirag (KindTree's
president) and Stephen Peeler, the recipient of a KindTree
cash grant to help him make his art. That's good times.
But Stephen is dealing with a very severe health crisis,
and may not survive until October. His family is asking
for help. Stephen is a great guy and a wonderful artist.
He fequently sets up residence at KindTree's booth at
Art& the Vineyard, creating art on the spot - folks
are fascinated. Go HERE
to learn how you can help Stephen and his family out.
And plan to join us in early October for the show's opening
when we can really show our support.
In other news, our State Representatives and County Commissioners
are making budget decisions that will affect your lives.
So far Lane County's DD community is fairly safe thanks
to federal stimulus money. Still, it's always good to
remind your elected offcials how much we all count on
their good judgement.
My computer is going so slow today, it can't keep up
with even my typing! So I will keep this short. COME
to the ART
SHOW, COME to
Art
& the Vineyard, SIGNUP
for the RETREAT.
Make this an Autism Rocks summer!
Tim Mueller, Sec / Treas.
