Dear Friends,
As you read this letter, there are millions of
children around the world with autism that are engaged in intensive
therapy, struggling to learn and relearn the most basic of concepts such
as responding to their names, recognising a smile, or acknowledging a
peer.
Tomorrow’s Voices is designed to meet the individual
needs of children who are diagnosed with Autism or on the Autism
Spectrum between the ages of two and 21 years of age in Bermuda. Autism
is characterised by severe and pervasive impairment in several areas of
development: reciprocal social interaction skills, communication skills,
or the presence of stereotyped (repetitive) behaviour, interests, and
activities. Our language-based programme provides therapy within a
Verbal Behavior (VB)/ Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) environment with a
maximum of 1:2 therapist-to-child ratio for our clients.
This year, we are launching an exciting new campaign
which will not only heighten the awareness of the vital services which
Tomorrow’s Voices offers, but will increase traffic through your doors
and help consumers to save money.
We are pleased to announce the launch of The
Premier Shopping and Dining Event in Bermuda, Eat Shop Give.
When someone purchases an Eat Shop Give card, they will
receive a discount from participating merchants (see attached details).
Monies raised from card sales will go towards the hiring of an
additional Therapist at Tomorrow’s Voices in order to further serve
Bermuda’s autism community.
On behalf of Bermuda’s children with autism, we
sincerely thank you in advance, for helping us move ever closer to the
goal of ensuring that Tomorrow’s Voices continues to provide Verbal
Behavior and Applied Behavior Analysis services to children with autism
and their families, helping them to have the best lives possible.
Regards,
Erica R. Smith
Chairwoman – Board of Directors
HERE’S HOW EAT SHOP
GIVE WORKS
• April is Autism Awareness Month. During
April 1st through 8th, 2009, Bermuda’s premier merchants will offer
a discount of their choice to all Eat Shop Give
cardholders. VIP cardholders will enjoy merchant discounts April 1st
through 11th, 2009.
• A description of your discount/offer will be
included in extensive marketing, (direct and mass), advertisements and
media contact to promote the Eat Shop Give program. You
may place any restriction or exclusions at your discretion, (example:
you may not want to include sale items, online purchases, special orders
or layaway items. Restaurants may want to offer free desert, a glass of
wine, or promote a special dish). Your Business your choice.
• There is no charge to participate in the
promotion; you simply need to honour your offer when an Eat Shop
Give cardholder shops at your business during the promotional
period! Cardholders will be provided with a directory of all
participating merchants.
• Tomorrow’s Voices will help drive sales to
increase total purchases at your business, by offering an Eat Shop
Give Grand prize, (TBD). Cardholders who spend a minimum of
$100.00 per visit at participating retail establishments, and $150.00
per visit at participating restaurants qualify for entry. Entry forms
will be provided and collected by Tomorrow’s Voices. The grand prize
drawing will take place on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009.
• Eat Shop Give Cards will be
available for purchase from the 16th March 2009, at a cost of $10.00
each, (a limited number of VIP cards will be available for $100.00
each). Each card purchased will list the name of the cardholder, and
only the cardholder will be eligible for the discount. If you would
like to increase your store traffic, and have your name included as a
Eat Shop Give card sale location, please indicate on the
participation form. We have volunteers and an attractive display
available if you will be kind enough to allow it.
• A reception is being planned for all
participating merchants and VIP card holders to launch Eat Shop
Give, (date and time to be determined).
