hello everyone.
its kevin from AHRC Suffolk, and your fellow club member.
thanks for showing so much enthusiasm and support for the annual AHRC Car Show - Fundraiser !!
you have all made this a great event for the children and participants of AHRC.
AHRC: 2900
veterans highway, bohemia 11716. 2 miles east on veterans highway pass exit 57 off the LIE.
for those of you who may not know, AHRC (established in 1949) serves the needs of children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. They also have many residential homes and work programs.
100% of the proceeds goes back to the agancy. the car show is especially important this year as this population is facing a 6% cut in
funding.
so be confident that you are doing a good deed for those who may not be able to speak for themselves.
with last years proceeds, AHRC was able to purchase 4 IPADs with special indestructible cases, all the necessary software to convert them into communicative devices, and a syncing station. they are also used as fine motor teaching tools and visual aids. there are so many different available apps that it makes teaching and
learning a fun but challenging time.
with new technologies, the children are making huge strides.
the previous devices were about $5,000 each, much heavier and more difficult to use.
thanks again and see you soon!
if you have any questions or need any flyers to hand out, please email or pm me.
lets get a good showing ..... im hoping that the Fords will out number a "competitor" car company this year
its for a great cause !!
