βΏ Miami-Dade Disability & Autism Newsletter π§©
Good morning, my fellow Miamians π¦©
The Arc of South Florida opens its Beyond Barriers online auction today, and you have until Friday night to bid on getaways, experiences, and gift cards from wherever you happen to be sitting. Then the calendar flips to October and the first weekend arrives loaded: a full day Symposium on Key Biscayne for families planning their child's future, free 1st Saturday museums, and a Sunday made for costumes without the scary.
Special Olympics Florida wants your help. Their fall competition season needs volunteers, and this edition shows you where to sign up. And when you finally get a minute on the couch, Andy Garcia's 'All Access' show keeps turning its cameras on the special needs community.
