What a glorious sunny day today is, thought I would share a few upcoming workshops, links, and fun things to do with your families that I have seen on social media this week. PEI open farm day, is always a great time. We go every year, and tour farms in our surrounding area. We always enjoy the warm welcome, meet some of our local farmers, learn about their lives and the important contributions to our lives they make & of course animals that we can see. As Fall is starting, I know ourselves as a family, are looking for some different opportunities, recreational, social, creative, therapeutic to explore and try out for our sons & daughters. So here are some links to inclusive Yoga, in Charlottetown area, the annual Autism swim in Summerside, and information about CFSB music therapy/social skills group fall programming, they also continue to offer individual music therapy as well!. I am sure I missed some, but wanted to post some. Hope you can take the time to try out a few experiences, and perhaps a new opportunity to meet other families and connect with each other. Take care & many blessings of the day!

This is a final time to get out your bathing suit and swimming trunks before you retire them for the winter for this is going to be a great day of fun and fundraising! The lane pool will be used for the relay and the side pool at the Credit Union place will be life-guarded and the slide will be open. What a great day to spend with your family and friends! Bring along any supporters (children, family and friends) who can enjoy a swim in the leisure pool and cheer on the participants at the same time :) Rosalie Simeone, friend of the Autism Society of PEI and swimming instructor for Safety First Training Services with Canadian Red Cross, will be supporting us at our event as well and will have some interactive fun games in the leisure pool for the children to participate in throughout the day!
Team entrants are allowed to have a minimum of four participants and a maximum of eight that will take turns swimming lengths of the pool for a total team time of 30 minutes :)
This is a fun relay and is for participants of all ages and skill level. We want to have a fun day with lots of laughs, memories and good times in support of the Autism Society.
Teams can contact Nathalie@autismsociety.pe.
All pledges of $20.00 and over collected will be tax receipt-able by the Autism Society of PEI. Cheques can be made payable to the Autism Society of PEI. (Please find attached two printable PDF versions of Pledge sheets, feel free to choose your preferable sheet. Also remember, I need full mailing addresses including postal codes in order to issue tax receipts)
