🔄 Recap from Last Week
Mikle South, PhD, Director of the Emory Autism Center and the Early Emory Center for Child Development, gave us a fascinating look at autism.
He taught us not to think of autism as a disease but as a state of being — and how to show empathy for those who experience the world differently.
🍽️ This Week’s Menu
Homemade Lasagna with Breadsticks and Salad
A comforting Italian favorite — come hungry!
🎤 This Week’s Program
We will be having our monthly Club Assembly.
We’ll be updating everyone on upcoming Club activities and setting aside time for committees to meet. This is your opportunity to connect, collaborate, and have a voice in the work of the Club.
