Thank you Everyone for a great time at our 2nd annual Holiday/Fundraiser party. We are so grateful to all of you for making our program a warm and accepting place for our children. Each and everyone of you IS the reason why we have a program. To all the behind the scenes helpers, BIG THANK YOU! It always takes many hands to run a party and a fundraiser. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to expanding our program to include, yoga, kayaking, sailing lessons and surfing lessons. We also hope to increase the swimming as well.
Enjoy the pictures from our party, the resolution is not the greatest so I've attached the link to Kodak.
We wish you all a Happy, Healthy, and Peaceful New Year! I look forward to seeing you in 2009 and making it a FUN year!

So far this year our program has been a great success especially with all the children that are taking swimming lessons. With continued support from our members and sponsors we hope to continue to offer free sports activities as well as individual lessons for select sports. We will be adding more sports as fund become available. Some sports we are looking to add are yoga, kayaking, surfing and sailing lessons.
We are always in need of funds and volunteers. Please join us for our Holiday Party and Fundraiser on December 20, 2008 at the beautiful Sayville Yacht club in Blue Point.

OCTOBER 21, 2008 - FIRST SWIM
Thank you all for your cooperation. Our first swim went very smoothly due to the patience of our parents and their awesome kids. Many had to sit through our health and safety video again and did very well.
It was so good seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Just a reminder:
**Please remember that a parent must be in the pool area with a bathingsuit on.
**Our swim lessons are to encourage parents to observe and learn so that you can continue with the lessons after the session.
**Please remember to sign IN and OUT of St. Joseph's College building.
**If your child has a favorite pool toy, bring it with you.
**Our holiday party and fundraiser is December 20 at 6-9p.m. Tickets are suggested donation of $50 per family. We are in need of raffle prizes - please contact Judy Dicorscia at domjudydicorcia@aol.com or 631-786-4301. Flyer will be following soon. See blog archive January for pictures from last year's party.

This year our big fundraiser will be in combination with the Holiday party. Irish Coffee Pub has generousely offered to donate the food again. We will be needing lots of raffle items and volunteers.
LOST AND FOUND: Please see me if you have lost any items during our program.
REMINDER: Our last sail date is August 25th and we will be having a pizza party. A donation of $10.00 per family would be greatly appreciated and please bring a dessert to share.

End of the Year Information
We were very fortunate to be able to offer free one on one swim lessons for our children due to the generous funding from Nassau Suffolk Chapter of Autism Society of America (NSASA) http://www.nsasa.org/. Please visit there website for more free activities and to become a member. They are an awesome group and run by very dedicated parents. We hope to offer future lessons but that will depend on more funding. We have an opportunity to receive some funds from a 4 mile run/walk. Please support us by registering and run/walking with us on April 13th. Here is the website with all the information. www.ejautismfoundation.org.
Our last swims for this year will be April 13 (pizza party) and April 27th. Please join us for the pizza party after our swim at 2:00p.m.
Our SAIL part of the program will begin July 7th. It will run for 8 Mondays. If you're interested in participating please drop me a line so that I can put you on our list.
Thank you all for your continued support and participation.

SWIM FEBRUARY 3RD
REMINDER
Our next swim is Feb. 3rd. Unfortunately, at this time we have a waiting list for the swim lessons. I'm hoping to have a fundraiser in the summer and maybe more grants to continue to offer free swim lessons. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
