Smiles for Santa -  December 17, 2011

Autism Ontario Sarnia Lambton would like to thank everyone involved in making this year’s Holiday Party such a huge success.

Special thanks go to UWO Researh Park for letting us use their conference facilities and to the Huron House Boys Home for outfitting Santa again this year. As always, our volunteers (Jen, Jenny, Josh, Susan and Tiffany) provided a wonderful experience for our families by providing their time and talents on the day of the event.

Everyone had an amazing day, enjoying holiday crafts and activities as well as a special visit from Santa!

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year!

Helping Hats for Autism, December 2 & 3

Well, Lambton Mall was hopping on December 2 & 3 as we sold our Helping Hats for Autism. Thank you to all the volunteers who gave up time this weekend to help support our local chapter. Thanks to Angela Southard, Kamilah Smith, Stephanie McCauley, Lisa Reddish, Jen Bida  and Geri Dore. Again specail thanks to Gail Wittich for knitting them all. I know I went home with an Angry Birds hat but don't tell - it's a Christmas present.

Happy Halloween - It was a "Boo"tiful Afternoon

On Saturday, October 29 families, along with some every special guests such as Cinderalla, a transformer, a superhero, a princess and a pirate, (just to name a few) came together and celebrated Halloween with games, activities and snacks.

What an exciting day!

A big thank you to all the friends and families who came out. The children all had a great time. Special thanks to everyone that donated either online or in person. It helps us do what we do.

I'd also like to thank Pastor Deve and the congregation of the Sarnia Evangelical Missionary Church for hosting our camp this summer. And finally - thank you to Jenny Van Bree, Camp Director and all the wonderful staff - Amber, Ashley, Jen, Josh, Jackie, Lisa, Larissa, Laura, Angela, Susan, Sabrina, Krystal and Katherine - and our volunteers, Lauren and Margaret.
