A Non-Profit Vocational Center & Animation Studio
For Young Adults On The Autism Spectrum  
   THANKSGIVING EDITION
   NOVEMBER 24, 2015 - Vol. 42       

 
So many things to be thankful for this Holiday Season...
 
Exceptional students who work incredibly hard, dedicated teachers who keep the bar high, tireless staff who lead with integrity and wisdom, selfless board members and volunteers who donate countless hours, generous donors who enable us to continue our work, involved parents who provide guidance and support, loyal clients who enable our graduates to earn a living...
  
Tuesday, December 1st is the Global Day of Giving, a day when thousands of people around the world come together to give back. We will be launching our annual appeal at this time and hope you will make a donation to support the "exceptional" work we do here at Exceptional Minds.
 
With gratitude & warm wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
