February 8, 2012 Regular Meeting Notes

Lindsey gathered everyone.  The usual ritual began the meeting.

Today's special guest was Aaron Johnson, chef from Grand Valley, who presented to the group and fielded questions on the topic of autism.  Aaron presented to us from a bases of raising a child with autism and shared with us both personal experience and research on the disorders.  Today autism fits into a newer category called "autism spectrum disorders (ASD)" which as the title suggests has a broad range of abilities and conditions associated with it.

A working set of notes, and brochure were handed out about autism.

Alan won the 50/50, but no ace was drawn.

Present today: Alan, Pete, Steve, Carlo, Rob, Brad, Dan J., Dan L., and Lindsey

The Bicyle Race committee did not meet afterwards.  Dan will contact members about a meeting, possibly Friday.
