Charity Event - Wirral Autistic Society

I'm currently working with Rick Myers from Wirral Autistic Society putting together a charity night for 6th June 2008. The event will take place at Giles Shirley Hall in Bromborough. The current plan is to host an evening providing free wine and snacks, a Jazz Quartet, a photoshoot and prize draws. Ticket prices and the full format of the evening are yet to be decided.

If you are interested in attending this event or would like to donate a gift for the prize draw, please contact me.

My brother works as a carer for the Wirral Austisic Society which provides a wide range of living options, day services and community support to people from all over the UK
