Join Us for Our Back to School Party on 

Saturday, August 14, 2010

Bowling, Laser Tag, Pizza and more
Beginning at 9:00 AM

MAIN EVENT - LEWISVILLE
 
http://www.maineventusa.net/locations#lewisville

We will have laser tag, bowling, games, pizza and drinks for the children which will be paid for by the Support Group, and we'll also provide pizza and drinks for the adults.  The entire family is welcome to attend,  BUT YOU MUST MAKE RESERVATIONS.
 
Please let me know how many children and how many adults.  We have limited spaces available and this is first come, first served.  Let us know as soon as you know you are coming. 

Do not make a reservation if your plans are undecided; we cannot get a REFUND and another family will be prevented from attending 
I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great summer, and we'll see you at the Party
just before school kicks off for another GREAT YEAR!

"We recognize how vastly important it is for the child growing up with Tourette Syndrome to have an understanding and united support system with parents and teachers working together, so that these kids may have the best chance of emerging into adulthood with that all important sense of self-esteem."      Susan Conners

Tourette’s syndrome, or TS, is a neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics.  Symptoms begin in childhood and cause those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control.  While not life-threatening, TS is nonetheless often painful, disruptive and isolating.  Many children with TS also have associated conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and/or learning disabilities.  While it is believed to be genetic, the exact cause of the symptoms is still unknown.  Studies indicate approximately 1 in every 100 school age boys and 1 in every 300-400 school age girls may be afflicted with Tourette’s.  Although T.S. symptoms may decrease with age, adults may have T.S. also.
