A few nights ago I went to the first Idaho Autism Community (Pocatello chapter) meeting. A mom by the name of Beckah Whitlock and a group called Have Fun merged to form this action-based Autism group. I am very excited that Idaho is becomming more "aware".
A chapter opened in Rexburg, now Pocatello, soon Idaho Falls, Boise, Twin Falls, and more to come...This is so needed in not just our community, but our entire state. Idaho has always been behind in everything except for the little thing that grows in the ground, commonly known as the potato.
Their site is still under construction here. The next meeting is May 12 at 6:30-8:00pm at the Marshall Public Library in Old Town Pocatello. Anyone interested in supporting and volunteering and helping and socializing and being a friend is welcome--even teenagers!! I'll be posting more of this to come...
Hip Hip Hooray!
