SENSORY SHOWTIME Volunteer Meeting

SENSORY SHOWTIME Volunteer Meeting

The meeting will be held at 10am on Saturday August 22nd at

Munch Family Restaurant
143 – 1233 Lynn Valley Rd,North Vancouver, BC, V7J 2A1
http://www.munchmunch.ca/

The restaurant is in the Lynn Valley Town Centre at the corner of Lynn Valley Road and Mountain highway. Chosen so you don’t need to worry about babysitters; bring your children and they can play nearby in the stunning children’s play area. Playtime at Munch is always FREE; but since we will be there during mid-morning drop-in, please remember to purchase at least a small coffee. Which, by the way, is delicious!

Please let me know if you would like to volunteer, but can not attend the meeting. I will email you the agenda and list of suggestions on how you may help.

Thanks!

SENSORY SHOWTIME - volunteers needed

In October, I will be hosting SENSORY SHOWTIME, an awareness weekend featuring “Autistic-Like: Graham’s Story,” a touching documentary about one dad’s struggle to help his son, and a short video about (sensory processing disorder) SPD and the SPD Foundation. We hope to have local families share their personal stories, and plan to conduct fundraising activities.

We will be one of 75 international venues coordinating a Showtime event in October during (US) National Sensory Awareness month. The goal is to raise general awareness of SPD and funds to help underwrite the final push for recognition of SPD in the 2012 revision of the DSM.

To make this public service activity possible, I am asking you to help me by sending this post to anyone who may be interested in volunteering for this event. Please consider volunteering yourself. A meeting of volunteers will take place on Saturday August 22nd, during the first SPD – Parent Connections meeting. The place and time are still to be determined, but all information will be posted on the following blog: http://sensationalchildren.blogspot.com/. All people interested can send me a comment via the sensational children blog or email me at dmastromatteo@shaw.ca.
Thanks for your time and participation in this sensational event.
