ASEA's Holiday Hours


The Autism Society office will be closed for the holidays from December 23 until January 2. The office will close on the evening of Thursday, December 22 and reopen on the morning of Tuesday, January 3. We wish you a joyous holiday season, and look forward to serving you again in the new year!

A New Way to Give for the Holidays

 

Tired of giving socks and sweaters as gifts? Want to give a really special Christmas present this year, or make your next holiday gathering an event to remember? We've got two new ways to help!
  • You can give a donation to the Autism Society as a holiday gift to a loved one. Open up our online donation form and dedicate your donation to someone special, including a customized message. Your dedication and message will be e-mailed to them - you can choose whether to send it immediately, or wait until December 25th. Plus, we'll print your dedication the next issue of our quarterly magazine Autism Now!
  • Make your next holiday or birthday party a charitable event. Instead of bringing gifts or food or drinks, encourage people who attend to make a donation to the Autism Society. Contact the Autism Society to set up your event, and guests will be able to choose it from a drop-down list in our online donation form. It's a great way to bring out the giving spirit in your friends and family!

Either way, you'll be showing your generosity while helping us to provide critical programs and services for people with autism and their families.
