Introducing the Friend 2 Friend Calgary Blog!

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our first official blog post! We’re so glad you decided to drop by.

September 2011 launched us into our 5th year of presenting the autism demystifications programs that we have come to be known for throughout Alberta. We also have a whole new team!

MC continues her excellent work as a Lead presenter. She spearheaded the creation of the Calgary Satellite and is our closest link to the Vancouver team who started it all.

Erin is busy as ever as our program coordinator and soon-to-be Lead presenter!

Marc and Christine are our newest team members who just started getting to know our puppet, Mae this September. Over the school year, Mae will teach them lots about being a good friend!

Jeff is fully engaged with his studies at MRU at present but has generously offered his puppeteering prowess whenever we need a back-up.

I, (Candace) am happy to now be going full throttle in my role of Lead presenter and look forward to many more opportunities to help increase awareness of autism and the importance of friendships.

This blog will document our experiences in the community and provide a forum for us to share the message that although we all have “different kinds of minds”, everyone wants friends!

Can’t wait to share more adventures with you!

Here is Mae's Halloween costume. I think she really nailed the "smile".
