A special screening in Atlanta
September 30, 2010 in In Real Life by Admin Dawn
Seven months ago when Julia and I first started talking about building this site we had big plans and most of those plans have come to fruition. We’ve watched you all make connections on the special needs parenting support groups — getting advice, encouragement and even a new recipe for dinner. We’ve watched you pull together as a community — checking out the live chat, joining the book club and adding to the news page. It’s been amazing! But we knew when we started this that we wanted more. We wanted to give you opportunities to have fun in your real lives. That’s why we’ve organized the giveaways and that’s why we’ve put this together:
We are proud to present the Atlanta premiere of the award-winning documentary, MONICA & DAVID, in partnership with HBO and AMC Phipps Plaza in Atlanta, GA. Look at this trailer, doesn’t it look amazing?
The film premieres on HBO on October 14th but we have arranged a special FREE screening for the Support for Special Needs community on Monday, October 11th at 7pm at AMC Phipps Plaza, home to the Sensory Friendly Film Series.
You can reserve your seats to the show by clicking to our sign up page here.
We’ll be featuring an interview with the filmmaker, Alexandra Codina, next week!
It makes sense that Atlanta would be our first in-person event — after all Julia lives there and parenting two kids with special needs means she’s been an active member of that community since her kids were diagnosed. But we plan to come to YOU, too.
If you want us to put your town on our list for any upcoming events you can help by inviting your in-person friends to join our site. If we know that you can help us rally an audience, we will work hard to give you a reason to do it! We’re already planning for next year but first we want to enjoy this inaugural event. If you’re in Atlanta — or close enough to drive in — please join us! Julia would love to shake your hand in person! (Now me, I live in Ohio so I still haven’t been able to shake Julia’s hand in person because we’ve never actually met! Oh the magic of the internet!)
