Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I `am asking for help from all of the Michigan Originations and support groups with the UA Open Your Eyes project. The best way to do that is to let all your members know and collect the photos at your meetings. I can provide you with the re-lease forms and make arrangements to pick them up from you. Each board holds 42 photos and I would really love to see dozens of Michigan boards at the 2004 rally in DC. These boards are beautiful and have a great impact wherever they are displayed. I am sure those of you who attended the ASA conference recently would agree when you see all the photos together it is very moving. With our up coming DC Rally and events in April of 2004 now is the time to get your loved ones photo included in on our Open Your Eyes project. For the picture boards I need a actual photo but if you would like to be include in my project I am working on right now to be showed at the Christian Conrad Faith Benefit you can email a photo to autism_in_michigan@ hotemail.com Some time soon I will be contacting all of you in Michigan that have old photos on our Michigan boards about up-dating them. If you would like to help me out by contacting me about this please call me at , every little bit helps, thanks! If you would like to snal mail your photo in please send them to the address below. You can download a release form from my web page at: http://autisminmichigan.homestead.com/files/UAOpenYourEyesForm2.doc . We are asking for a $5.00 donation to help defray the cost of the new boards. All checks ($5.00) should be made payable to Unlocking Autism. If you cannot include the donation that is ok the photo is what counts so please send or bring your photo anyway. Unlocking Autism DC Events.. In 2001, Unlocking Autism brought you The Power of ONE! In 2002, Unlocking Autism brought you The Power of ONE! I.D.E.A. We know that the autism community has the potential to be a powerful political force in 2004. SO ITS TIME TO UPGRADE FROM THE POWER OF ONE! TO THE POWER OF 1.5 (MILLION THAT IS!) APRIL 2004 An estimated 1.5 million people in the United States have autism. There are roughly 3 million parents and 6 million grandparents and Millions and Millions of Siblings, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Family Friends, Neighbors, Teachers, Therapists and physicians.

Unlocking Autism is proud to announce four days of power packed activities in Washington, DC from April 21-24 in 2004.
