Subject: NJ Group - January meet detailsHi! Here's the info on our next meeting, barring any flashes of inspiration or natural disasters Please pass it along to anyone you know who might be interested.

ASAN's Jersey Social/Support Group is having its 3rd session on: Saturday, January 12th 2008 @ 1:00

We'll be meeting at:Van Gogh's Ear Cafe1017 Stuyvesant AveUnion, NJ 07083Its a quirky and fairly quiet little cafe and we had a great time there at the last meeting. One of the things we'd like to discuss at this next meetup is the public perception of autism and ways we can change it; but the we usually keep the conversation pretty free-form -- the most important thing is that everyone has space to be themselves

If you'd like to come to the meeting, please RSVP to: IanS73@...
