Supporting Autism..
DEAR FRIENDS SUPPORTING AUTISM,
The Covington Rotary Club is excited to be gearing up for our 5th Annual Fundraising Dinner and Auction (both live and silent) on Saturday, April 5, 2008, at The Madison in Covington, Kentucky.
This year’s theme is Autism. Locally and around the world hundreds of thousands of children are afflicted with Autism. Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals are diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe.
We are striving to improve the lives of these children in Covington, at Rising Star Studios, a non-profit organization that provides children with autism a place to be artistic, to socialize and to get support; www.risingstarstudios.org. And, we are also helping in India by providing support at a designated school for children with Autism, www.ashaforautism.com .
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are looking for sponsors (see next page) auction items, whether large or small, to be auctioned off the night of the event. All donated items will be given proper recognition as to the donor and/or participating company.
We want to thank you in advance. Your donation, participation and interest are greatly appreciated. Donations can be mailed to our PO BOX or call Brandon for pick up 859.750.8733.
Sincerely,
Event Co-Chairs

Helping Stephanie...
Remember the movie, “Meet the Fockers”?
That family seemed to experience one disaster after another!
As a real life sequel, we’d like you to “Meet the Fockes”!
Bob, Stephanie, Danny, and Shelby Focke have lived in Colerain Township for over 20 years. They are a family who has endured more than their share of hardships.
In June of 2005, at the age of 15, Danny suffered a severe brain injury which affected his balance and learning abilities. It took a full year for him to recover.
Two years ago, at the age of 10, Shelby was diagnosed with Wegener’s Granulomatosis, a lifelong, rare, and serious autoimmune disease that requires continuing treatments, surgeries, and doctor’s visits.
Stephanie, who has undergone treatment for Graves’ Disease, is now battling breast cancer, a disease that took her mother’s life when Stephanie was only 3 years old! In order to help out with the costs of continuing medical care, a benefit dance is being held for Stephanie.
Please join us for a great time on Saturday, April 12th, 2008 from 8:00 – Midnight at:
Lakeridge Hall
7210 Pippin Rd.
Cincinnati, Ohio 45239
Advance tickets are $20.00 per person, (that includes live music, beer, soda, and snacks), and may be purchased by calling Diane Fehrenbach at : (513) 738-7116 or (513) 579-5980.
Tickets may also be purchased at the door, space permitting, at a cost of $25.00 per person.
In addition to great music and a good time, the dance will feature a split the pot and silent auction to benefit Stephanie.
In order to make this event a success, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please consider making a donation such as cash, or a gift card, or any items of value for the auction. Cash donations may be made in person at any North Side Bank & Trust location. Checks should be made payable to: “Benefit of Stephanie Focke”, and sent directly to:
