The Walk Now for Autism was a huge success.  Thank you to everyone who donated and/or braved the cold to walk with us.  Here are a few photos from the event.

Our shirts were very popular and we had several people ask about purchasing them.  Three variations of the design are available at www.zazzle.com/hopeautism in a variety of products.  All proceeds from the sales will go toward a building fund so that we will be able to open a center in 2010 in order to serve more families.  Thanks for all your support!
