Showing Gratitude Through Involvement
Monday, May 18th, 2009
Member Rosalie Valenti Tocco this year took on the volunteer job of Autism Ball Chairperson. We are very grateful
to her for her many hours of enthusiastic and cheerful hard work to make this year’s Ball a big fundraising success, despite the current economic climate. Rosalie feels that she is simply passing on to others the assistance she has received from the ASSEW members, staff and volunteers before her. In her words:

They fought to improve the quality of life for their children during a time when knowledge and acceptance were scarce. ASSEW first captured my heart; my mind quickly followed suit. (more…)
