Attention families in the Asheville area!! Have you heard about the Buddy Club for children with developmental disabilities? This event is aimed at children with developmental disabilities who have no services or who have had recent cuts in services. The Buddy Club is designed to give parents the night off while their child/children play with their individual buddy for the night.
Trained staff will be on hand to make sure this event runs smoothly. The space for this program is very limited so be sure to stop by F.I.R.S.T to pick up your application. The deadline to have the application returned is November 10, 2009, which is quickly approaching! The actual event will be held on November 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the West Asheville Community Center. F.I.R.S.T. is hoping to make this a monthly event, but they are in need of community groups and organizations to be the Buddy part of the Buddy Club.
If you think you might know a group or organization that would be interested in fulfilling this mission be sure to inform them of the Buddy Club! For more information see the Buddy Club flyer at http://www.westernhighlands.org/images/stories/buddy_club_flyer.pdf
