F2F programming discussion
To start the process, need $25,000 to get Heather McCrakin here. Nancy can get puppets funded through RCP.
In principle, the CLC agrees to pursue.
There are questions about exclusivity that we'd like to pose to Heather.
A discussion has to happen with Marg S. to determine how things will look for Autism Ontario.

Tim Golding has been approved as AO representative on SEAC.
Last meeting was a disucssion on the concept of inclusion in schools, what it is, is it necessary to have everyone included, or have some classes set aside.
Feeling is that everyone needs to have inclusion in the school. It might mean that there is a specialized class. The discussion will be revisited in the Fall.
Also a discussion about groups that may or may not be involved with children with exceptionalities, parental rights, where information for parents is being provide. There was a discussion about identify an ombedsman for parents to go to with any issues with their children.
There is concern about Bill 168 being passed as a means of an exclusionary method. - President's report
Need to evaluate sponsorship for Cycle for Austim and determine what needs to be done. Fiona O'Connor (IRC position) is coming, and may occupy Paul's time for knowledge transfer and would take us to the end of July into August.
We are hoping Fiona can start next week (proposed date July 12).
In our current budget, there is current monies to fund the IRC position into 2010-2011.
United Way monies is generally unrestricted. Designated funding may have been received to support the IRC position.
Karyn is working on the contract right now. And it ends until December 31, 2010 right now.
Action item: Elias to talk to Gail regarding funding of the position, if the United Way is directed funding, and how much is directed. Elias will also identify how much money is available to fund the position.
Action item: Jo-Anne to coordinate F2F questions with Nancy, the CLC and provincial.
Motion: To provide up to $1000 for a retainer for exploration of Heather McCrackin's F2F program.
All in agreement.
As far as Elias knows we have no other accounts.

Subject: RE: Web Manager tool update
Hi Team,
Based on the Autism Ontario website, there appears to be 28 chapters for our organization. If we do an even split of the $1,440 evenly between all chapters, it turns out to $51.43 per chapter which is not much, considering the benefits of the upgrade. I think if the split cost was put this way in Karyn's original email, it would not appear like such a massive cost.
If anything, we can send Karyn an email indicating a definite contribution of $51.43 on the basis of splitting the cost equally between the chapters. Furthermore, we can discuss this on July 6.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Kind Regards,
Ernst & Young LLP

Jo-Anne to talk to Josh to discuss with volunteers and volunteer roles.
Possibility that John Secard may have pitched Goodlife as a sponsor. (projected $7500)
Action item: Josh to follow-up with a registration page. - Adult programming
Concerns about releasing monies to the program. There seems to be a miscommunication regarding how the moneys is going to be used, and there has not been any budget presented.
Members of the Adult Sub-committe are going to review the processes for targeting where the money is going to be spent and how it's going to be spent.
Of general interest:
From Brenda Desjardins
