Special thanks to Rep. Larry Flowers for his guest appearance

We had a beautiful day again this year. We had several hundred people again this year as well! I have attached the 1st TV segment I have seen. I know we have received several other segments on various media outlets such as - QFM96 radio in Columbus and Fox 8 in Cleveland. We thank all the media for their help getting this important message out.

I also received a call today from Corbitt telling me that Senator DeWine joined the Coalition for Autism Research and Education (C.A.R.E.) on Capital Hill today. That is more good news. This a group of Representatives and Senators that have formed a Coalition to become more knowledgeable about what is happening with respect to research and education about Autism.

Thanks again for your support and we look forward to next year's rally.
