For those in the eastern Pennsylvania, south Jersey or Delaware area:

Autism Living and Working ("ALAW"), an autism charity with a message of acceptance and inclusion, is having two fundraisers in Philadelphia in the next week. Their mission statement is: A world in which adults with autism/ASD live as valued neighbors, workers and full citizens. The programs they are raising money for aer described here: http://www.autismlivingworking.org/content/mission

Here is the information and a link to the meetup event:

RSVP "YES" by going to this link...

If you come to one of the below-listed Autism Benefit Concerts, the shows' producer, Mike DellaVecchia, will discount all Philly Hiker Group fruit-juice drinks by $1. You'll also get a free CD from any one of the bands. All in the name of Autism! Ask for Mike when you get there. Mike will also sign up any outdoor-loving guests whom you bring to these shows to the Philly Hiking Adventure and Meetup Group. Please read the below description about how the most famous musicians of Philadelphia will be performing for the Philly hikers:

Thanks for sharing. I won't be able to make it on Friday, but I'll share this with others who may.

ALAW has created a lot of good opportunities for adults with autism in the Philadelphia area. Their fundamental philosophy is a lot more progressive than that of a lot of other parent-founded autism organizations.

I think they're worth supporting.
