The Pilot Club of Manhattan's 5th annual Autism Spectrum Disorders Workshop in 2010 and was a major success. The workshop saw more than 250 parents, caregivers and educators of children on the autism spectrum at the June 5 workshop hosted at the K-State Student Union.

The workshop is becoming well-known throughout the Manhattan community and state of Kansas, with parents and educators returning each year.

"Many families in the area are beginning to look forward to this workshop every year," said Helen Miller, Autism coordinator for USD 383. "We are grateful for the work of the Pilot Club of Manhattan in sponsoring this workshop."

The Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce covered the workshop in their newsletter. You can read a copy here: Manhattan's Chamber of Commerce newsletter.

We couldn't host each workshop out with the generous contributions of area sponsors. See who helped us out in 2010.
