The 4th Annual Autism Awareness Fair takes place on April 26th from 4:30-6:30 @ the Wolf Life Transitions Center!
Please join us for this free event as we celebrate those with Autism and bring awareness to the community.
The evening will include activities for everyone in the family including face painting, therapy animals, yoga and a bounce house. Other activities will focus on art, music and sensory therapies. There will be a supervised open-swim in CDS Monarch’s world-class therapy pool, as well as an appearance from a local clown and a juggler. Children will be able to learn about safety and explore a fire truck from the Webster Fire Department and an ambulance from the Webster Ambulance. There will be a silent auction with proceeds benefiting the Autism Skill Building program.
Hope to see you there!

What can I expect at a Clean Sweep?
Clean Sweep Saturdays have become community gatherings, offering citizens an opportunity to reacquaint themselves with old friends and make new ones. City crews also remove graffiti, clean City properties, repair sidewalks and fill potholes during the Saturday Sweeps.
Clean Sweep events have also become team-building exercises for neighborhood associations, church groups, school clubs and teams, and civic organizations. Residents can also take advantage of Clean Sweep by raking and their own yards and sidewalks and placing the bulk refuse at the curb, knowing a City crew will soon come by to retrieve it.
Saturday Clean Sweeps begin at 8:30 a.m. where volunteers arrive to free coffee and donuts. They're given a free t-shirt, assigned to a team and hit the streets by 9 a.m. Tools are provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own. They return to the staging ground at 1 p.m. for a picnic to build on the community spirit that is the most lasting benefit of Clean Sweep.

The event set-up will begin around 6:00 am, but we probably won’t need student volunteers until about 8:00 am, as registration begins at 9:30 am. The event usually ends between 12 - 12:30 pm.
