The sleigh ride will take place at Terpstra’s Farm and as per usual, there will be a stop along the sleigh ride route for sledding and then the children are welcome to visit the animals in the barn and enjoy a hot chocolate and cookie afterwards. This is a family event sponsored by the Autism Society and is free for all paid members of the Autism Society. If you don’t have a membership, or need to renew your membership then please be sure to fill out the above form and send it in with your $10 payment for the 2014-2015 year before the Annual General Meeting in March 2014. Membership runs from March 2014-March 2015 but you will be considered a member for the remainder of this year as well! I ask that anyone who plans on attending the event RSVP to email my email Nathalie@autismsociety.pe.ca as it will be checked while I am gone and the Board of Directors will be keeping a tally on how many families will be attending this event. It is very important to RSVP if you will be there so that we can notify Terpstra’s of how many sleighs we require. Please RSVP with a total number of how many will be attending on behalf of your family.
(Also please note this event starts at 2:00pm so arrive around 1:50-1:55 to get loaded onto the sleighs! Sleighs will be departing from the barn shortly after 2:00pm!)
