Christmas Potluck Dinner and Discussion on Holiday Coping Strategies

This is the time when we can exchange strategies for coping with the holidays. How well are our families and kids prepared for the stresses of the up-coming holiday season?

Bring a dish if you wish but bring your experiences and coping skills to share as the Holidays approach. ASBG will supply all paper-goods, drinks and a main dish. This year’s potluck and end of year meeting will include a showing of crafts made by our very own Jonathan Parks, a woodcarver on the spectrum. Items will be available for purchase.

January 30
