Jill Egland (one note - jb) -
The Kern Film Workshop is a vocational training and enterprise development program right here in Bakersfield. It provides film makers with developmental disabilities the opportunity to strengthen their craft and explore their professional options.

On Tuesday, February 16, 10am-12noon, we're shooting a music video at Fishlips, 1517 18th Street, for a brilliant LA-based musician with autism. We're looking for students (college, probably, since if you're in high school it would mean cutting class) or newly-graduated folks to come and be part of the crowd. It's fun -- and you'll get to see some exceptional film makers at work.

Let me know if you can do it... and remember, if you RSVP on FB (where this invitation came from, otherwise, RSVP Arts Council - jb) that you'll be there, PLEASE BE THERE! You'll be disappointing a BUNCH of folks if you say you're coming and then don't.

NEW: Change in Tuesday, 2.16.10 Parent Support Group

Dear parents and professionals,

 

The bad news:  Due to a scheduling error on my part, Joey Travolta has been rescheduled to present at our March 16th meeting.

 

The good news:  We have had a series of presenters all year for our Parent Support Group.  Let's devote this Feb. 16th meeting to sharing our impressions of the ideas and options that were presented this year.  I certainly know that last month's presenter stirred a lot of thought on the area of transition to adulthood for those with social communication and sensory integration (sensitivity) concerns.  The T.I.L. Program, the Special Needs Trust and the KAN Conference may also be items we would like to discuss.  Finally, let's bring related books or other informational sites to the meeting to share. 

 

Again, please RSVP if you are attending.  We will meet in Room 605 at Stockdale High.  Please see attached.
