Puzzle Peace Moms Autism Support Group is a very informal place for parents to vent and gain support while facing the challenge of raising a child with Autism. The children and their siblings are welcome to attend the meetings, they can enjoy a supervised craft, or activity, while the adults talk. There are light refreshments, and a time to relax and let the children just be "themselves" without judgement or funny looks, because we all understand.We will be going on outings as a group, fundraising, hosting workshops, and having speakers and events to spread Autism Awareness!

Thank you to all our sponsors and to  the local businesses for their donations;because of you our first annual spaghetti dinner was a success!!!  Thank you to our fundraising coordinator Louisa Carll and all our other members who helped with the event, without all of you none of this would be posible.  Lastly, I would liked to thank CUBED for our improv entertainment, they were great!!
