Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
April was an amazing month for all of us at the Central New York Chapter of the Autism Society of America (CNY ASA) and the success of our two events is directly linked to the wonderful support provided by the local community.
More than 150 people attended the April 10th "Piecing it Together" Spring Soiree, held at the Renaissance Syracuse. We enjoyed wonderful food and beverages, music by Grupo Pagan and exciting raffle and auction prizes generously donated from many area businesses.
The "one piece at a time" Autism Awareness Walk took place Sunday morning, April 25th at Long Branch Park in Liverpool with more than 800 walking to show their support and dedication!
CNY ASA would again like to thank all of our members and supporters for making our April events such wonderful successes. Thank you!
