Before the Flutes, Autism and a Different Way of Seeing concert, everyone is invited to participate in a hands-on service project, Beading To Beat Autism. This initiative was begun by then 10-year-old Michala Riggle to raise funds for autism research and education. Supplies will be available to make 300 bracelets, which will be sold that day as well as on Aug. 28 in the Social Hall. Bring your lunch. Contact Pat Kahn at pkahn@uuca.org for more information.
From 2-4pm, Paul McAuliffe will perform Flutes, Autism and a Different Way of Seeing. Paul is a student of world /ethnic flutes and can play and discuss flutes from around the world. He is a flute maker who creates transverse and Native American style flutes out of bamboo. After he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, he created the Bay County Adult Asperger's Support Group at Florida State University. This program is suitable for ages 5 and up. Friends and neighbors are welcome!
