**CANCELED** The 4th Annual Wright Family Picnic '10
Date: Saturday, July 10, 2010
Dear Friends of ATPF:
In June I am turning 65 and have decided to mark that milestone by truly retiring. As founders we will not be doing the picnic again. The Wright Family Community Picnic is our son Todd’s legacy and with the generosity of a team of incredible volunteers we were all able to reach a level of awareness for autism in the community and provide a day of celebration for all the families and their children.
You all made that possible and we have great love in our hearts for all of you. We are here to pray with you and for you and look forward to many new adventures as our paths will certainly meet again.
With love our family thanks you!
