Picnic for the Autistic of Gaston County

I have been fairly busy for the last couple of weeks and haven't posted anything. Aside for my regular job, I've been trying to help my wife get ready for the 20th Annual Picnic for The Autistic of Gaston County.

This has been an annual event for the county for the last 20 years and started out as a party for my wifes daughter with 7 people attending the first picnic.There were approximately 250 people attending this year including the autistic, families, teachers, care givers, and volunteers.

The picnic took place on Friday, June 2 and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. God blessed us with wonderful weather as he has for the last 20 years.

The town of Ranlo has furnished their park all of these years and take charge of setting up the tables and cleaning the area. A lot of organizations, churches, and individuals assisted with the finances and donated supplies, food, and toys.100% of all donations go for making the picnic possible.

My wife and I thank everyone for their assistance. We have already started making plans for next years picnic.
