First I have to say Hoopy Easter to you! Second, let me take this moment to give a HUGE shout out to the month of April!  WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Yes, April is Autism Awareness Month, something near and dear to me, since I have an adult son with autism. If you have met me or been following me for any length of time, then you know how passionate I am about raising consciousness about autism and what successes are happening in the community! You might also remember that I hosted an event last year, SPiN OUT for Autism, and it was a wonderfully fun and successful evening supporting NonPareil Institute, where my son works!

This year, I have a couple of things I’d like to tell you about which I will be doing at The HoopShack. For starters, there will be a 2nd Annual SPiN OUT for Autism and THIS year, we can actually have it at The HoopShack! We have lots of space now, so it just feels RIGHT to host it at home! Plan on bringing your LED hoop, because we’ll be having this event FRIDAY NIGHT, April 26th 7:30-9:30pm, so please SAVE THE DATE!! We will be able to GLOW for a good cause! I sure HOPE you can join us to help HOPE!

Isn’t this GREAT? It’s my latest  pleasure that I purchased last month as a custom design supporting Autism Awareness!

Then, much to my surprise,  the artist and owner of online shop where I purchased it, Sunshyne Silverwear, offered to make MY personal custom autism cuff available to others, and for every one that sells, she will donate a portion back to my h.o.p.e. …j.o.y. initiative …it will be another way for me to raise some funds to donate more hoops to my community!  She has also offered a discount on all her items, and she has BEAUTIFUL, recycled, eco-friendly ones! Please feel free to use the Coupon Code “aroundjoy” at checkout to save 5% off of your purchase, too!  I love supporting others in small business, especially when we are all trying to help others in the spirit of GIVING!

We’re having a Hippity-Hoppity hOOpJam tomorrow, Sat. March 30th, in Pantego during the Easter Egg Hunt at Bicentennial Park. Come support us and other community businesses that were invited to attend! Weather permitting, we’ll be heading over to the park a little before 2pm, after class tomorrow. I’ll bring the music…you bring your hoop! Please check out the CALENDAR for details on this hOOpJam and other classes, and be sure to click on the day, so you can view more details about specific offerings.

Have a wonderful weekend…and please stay tuned…lots of exciting things coming up…you’ll want to learn more. In fact, YOU WILL…more videos are on my list, videos that will inform and inspire. aRoundJoy will be here to offer you options.
