Mother’s Day Luncheon
May 15, 2012
11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
AADD – 125 Clairemont Avenue Suite 300, Decatur, GA 30030
Did you know that in Georgia, a mother living with a developmental disability can lose custody of her children for that reason alone? AADD takes a strong stand in keeping families together. We advocate for many mothers who are at risk of losing their children, and find ourselves fighting to reunite mothers with their families. Mother’s Day is an especially celebratory occasion for us each year.
Our annual Mother’s Day Luncheon is an opportunity for us to honor every mother, especially those living with developmental disabilities. Help us make our mothers feel extra special by preparing and serving food, assisting with decorations and planning activities.
Annual Picnic & Fun Day
June 22, 2012
11:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Our communities are better when everyone, including individuals with developmental disabilities, contributes and participates. Join AADD staff, volunteers and the people we are proud to serve for an afternoon of games, barbecue, music and tons of fun! Take part in a day of friendly competition including bocce, water balloon toss, horse shoes, tug of war, crab tag, obstacle courses and much more! Volunteers are welcome to bring their families! This is also a great way for civic, faith-based, corporate and school groups to get involved.
Volunteers can assist with planning games, bringing a dish to share, serving and preparing food, set-up and post event clean up.
