We're trying to build the community’s awareness of Autism Speaks Walk and Autism Speaks by blanketing the community in preparation for our upcoming Columbus, GA walk. We need volunteers to help us distribute posters and brochures across the metro area. We'll provide all the materials, we just ask volunteers record what locations they have visited and left materials. Meet us on June 22nd between 10:30am-11:30am to pick up your materials. Can't join us on this date but still want to participate? Please email us and we'll coordinate.
