As a specialist of the Autistic Unit at Lantana Middle School, I am asking for your help. There are 10 autistic children who need your help as well. These children struggle with their communication skills and language skills.

A centennial dinner is being planned for people who lived in Delray Beach before World War II.
Should you be one of them or desire to attend such a dinner, contact Bob Miller at 706-5972 or by email at bmillerfl@aol.com.
