[Guest guest]

The North Texas Autism Education Center & Lone Star Learning Center

invite you to join us for the 2nd Annual March for Respect! Our non-

profit organization is among many hosting agencies to support the

Developmental Disabilities Network of North Texas in this event.

www.marchforrespect.org is the official website for the event and

has all the complete information about the day of the event.

Date: Saturday, March 27, 2004

Time: 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (Registration, Rally, March,

Information Fair, Family Fun Activities)

Place: Dallas West End (the 'march' is a one-mile walk)

The March For Respect is an incredible event to raise awareness of

the need for greater respect for people who have developmental

disabilities. This event is not about raising money. It is about

raising awareness and support for people who have developmental

disabilities. It is about realizing that each of us has our own

unique gifts, our own hopes and dreams, and how we are all

contributing members of our community. It is about lifting spirits.

Autism is now the fastest-growing developmental disability. Show

your Respect for people with autism by joining us at the March!

Participation is FREE! Bring your friends and family. Most

importantly, bring yourself. Last year, more than 3,000 people

rallied together during the 1st March for Respect.

Our organization will participate in both the March and the

Information Fair. At our Information Fair table, we will try to

have as much information as possible on local and national autism

resources to give to our community.

If you would like to join our organization's team on the day of the

event, you can pre-register online at www.marchforrespect.org. Go

to 'Register', then 'Register Online'; then under 'Team Leader' -

choose " North Texas Autism Education Center - Kim " . The

organization who attends with the most pre-registered participants

will receive $1,000. If our organization should get this honor, all

of the proceeds will go towards training parents and professionals

in our community to help children with autism reach their highest

potential.
