Happy New Years All!

Mark your calendars! This month's meeting will be at the Treehouse on Tuesday, January 18th at 7pm.  I look forward to seeing you. 

The Autism Lecture Series is back!!

We have had confirmation from Student Services Director Betsy Reid that our School District will set up the teleconferencing 

in order that our community has access to this Free latest Information set of lectures can be accessed by parents

and educators on Bainbridge Island and the Poulsbo and Kingston areas as well.  

ALL Lectures are Free and available to the General Public. The Lectures will be teleconferenced at the BI Highschool Library Room Main Floor.
