Dear Friends in the Orange Chatham Chapter of the Autism Society of North Carolina,

I found your contact information through the Autism Society of North Carolina website, and I am writing to ask your help in spreading the word about an important workshop opportunity coming up in your area.

I work for Center for Creative Play^® (CFCP), a nationally recognized leader in the design and development of fully inclusive play environments.  CFCP’s mission is to educate people about the importance of play for all children, and the organization envisions a day when every child and their family will have access to all-inclusive play environments. 

In mid-February, CFCP staff members will be traveling to Raleigh to perform a universal design assessment at Marbles Kids Museum.  While we are in Raleigh, we will be offering two exciting workshops – “I Can Play: Play as a ‘Fun-damental’ Experience for Every Child,” and “‘Sense-ational’ World: Sensory Integration Theory in Everyday Life.”  These workshops are ideal for educators, therapists, early intervention providers, child care professionals, social workers, parents, and anyone who works with children.  They will be presented by Ingrid Kanics, OTR/L, a Play Environment Specialist who has recently received a national award for her work in the field of occupational therapy. 

I am writing to ask you to share information about these workshops with your colleagues, any families you work with, and anyone else you think might be interested.  Please feel free to pass along the flyer describing the workshops, which you can access at http://www.time2sing.org/Upload/News/Raleigh%20PDF%200208.pdf  Please note: discounted parent rates are available.

I thank you for your support and encourage you to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Kate Reilly
