Sailing Foundation is offering a free Nautical Adventure for Special Needs

You Can Take Your Child With Autism To The Movies
Every month, Studio Movie Grill in Copperfield has a Saturday morning movie screening for families with special needs. A lot of times the parents can't take their children to the movies because they are afraid there might be a disruption or that it may make other families feel uncomfortable. We are of the belief that no child, or family for that matter, should miss out on one of the greatest traditions out there, going to the movies!
Cost: $5.50. Location: Studio Movie Grill - Copperfield, 8580 Hwy 6 North at West Rd. For more information, please call
832-593-6684.
