In celebration of the 5th annual United Nations World Autism Awareness Day, the Autism Society of Nebraska and the Autism Family Network are hosting an event at the Lincoln Children’s Museum. The museum will open on April 1 offering free admission. We will be a shining blue spotlight on the public health crisis of autism and support everyone who struggles with this disorder.

Dress in blue and join us on April 1 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. We will have volunteers to play and help with the kids, snacks and a balloon drop toward the end of the evening. Please RSVP at afnlincoln@aol.com.
