Unfortunately, our social event wasn’t very well attended, which was doubly unfortunate, in that we had volunteers and refreshments (and a chocolate fountain).  I had me a chocolate covered cookie.  We could’ve handled 50 families or more last Friday night!  Next time, we’ll have more time to get the word out, better fliers, actually post the agenda and it will be *awesome*.

But!  Good things still happened with those who came and we were able to discuss what Warrior-Mothers is planning in the next few months and get ideas and feedback from the area.

• A Special Needs Sports program will be starting in Eagle Mountain this summer.  Opening Date: TBD.  Opening Sport: Soccer!  Expected Cost? Currently, $25 for the whole season, but we’re looking for a new uniform printing service that should bring the costs down closer to $15, which will be *awesome.*  It won’t be tournament soccer or with a focus on competition, we’re getting the kids out there, get a chance to get a feel for sports with some very close one-on-one help from volunteers!  We already have the volunteers!  Wheelchair and mobility limited children welcome to participate!
• One of the families that came last Friday night brought to our attention the need for programs for older Special Needs individuals.  Work programs and social opportunities.  We’ve mostly been focused on teens and under, but the wheels are now turning and we’re grateful to have this need brought to our attention.
• A very special, but still very secret Warrior-Mother sponsored program is under-way for families with Special Needs Kids at Thanksgiving Point!  Details to follow, but keep some flexibility in your calendars for the beginning of May!  …. *awesome!*

(The word of day is “*awesome!*”… apparently)
