My family and I have attended many events that are sponsored by featsonv.org they have been great for our 3 autistic kids, and the support for parents has been excellent as well.

See their link here—> http://www.featsonv.org

They have teen programs as well as monthly events. They also have an annual fund raising event.

Vaccines vs. autism is back in the news.

Bill Gates is an angry philanthropist. Arguably the richest man in America and thereby the most philanthropic, he sat down on CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta the other day.

In response to a question from Dr. Gupta about the constant drumbeat of claims that vaccines are dangerous, Mr. Gates said, “It’s an absolute lie that has killed thousands of kids. The mothers who heard that lie, many of them didn’t have their kids take either pertussis or measles vaccine, and their children are dead today.”

I was on Lillie Pad’s website the other day and saw information from Puzzling Pieces an excellent Jewelry Company that makes autism focused jewelry that also donates 25% of their receipts to charity as well. I found that they have a really nice fundraiser whereby they will donate an ipad to the fundraising person or organization for every 60 pieces that people donate/buy on their behalf. Their jewelry starts at $ 20 a piece and are really nice.

I am starting a fundraiser to help get Ipads to Donate to people that need them.

Please go to their website and tell them that your were referred by technewszone and if you like their jewelry and can afford it, buy some it will help autism.

I will donate the Ipads to people that are in need of them and can not afford them. I will also give away 2 of them to people that have purchased them on behalf of my website as well.

Here is an excerpt from their site–>

This year The Puzzling Piece is going to try something new that can help your child. We always work on fundraising to help Autism groups and Schools. This year we will keep doing that and help your child too.

Our challenge to you is ….if you sell 60 Puzzling Piece necklaces, key chains or combination of both. We will give you a brand new I Pad for your child or your students. We want to offer this opportunity to everyone that we can help.

If you ask your family and friends to help you sell, you can send them the photos. You don’t need to lay out any money. When you are ready we will ship the product right to your home. Feel free to post our photos and pass out flyers.

Together we can give the gift of technology.
