From Georgetown Palace Theater:
More exciting news from the Palace Education program!

For the first time, we are offering a 5 week summer program for children on the Autism spectrum!

This inaugural class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings from July 5th through August 4th from 6-7 PM. The class will work on acting exercises, social skills, public speaking, and performance. Our class will culminate in a performance for family and friends on the last day of class.

This very special workshop is limited to 8 children who are going into 3rd-5th grade for the 2016-2017 school year. If you know a child who qualifies, please have them enroll immediately! (You can register here.)

This workshop is provided at NO COST to families through a generous grant from Georgetown Seeds of Strength. We would like to thank that organization as well as the Georgetown Health Foundation for all of the wonderful programs we will be able to offer this year for our patrons with special needs. Keep an eye out for more great programming that will be starting this Fall.

We hope you are having a wonderful summer!

Regards,

Thank you for your support.  We raised $1315 in our Amplify Austin campaign for our recreational activities and camps!  Well done!!

Exceptional Georgetown Alliance (EGA) has served the special needs community since 2008 helping to fill the need for extracurricular activities and camps for special needs students.  All abilities are welcome.  No one is turned away based on their abilities or medical needs.  Scholarships help those who need financial assistance.

“I would appreciate any help I can get since I’m a single mom I could never be able to afford this (camp.)”

“My daughter has grown so much because of the adaptive sports teams EGA offers. She plays with many different children, learns new skills, and she learns how to be a good teammate. She and I have met a lot of extraordinary people because of EGA!”

This year EGA is a proud participant in Amplify Austin’s “I live here, I give here” campaign. We need your support.  Whether it’s $20 or $200, every amount counts.  Our goal is to raise $1,000 for camp scholarships and equipment replacement.  Please schedule your donation today and help exceptional people live extraordinary lives.
