FAS Conference Plans and Holiday Shopping Guidance
The Chetwynd FAS Mobilization Committee held a meeting to plan a second annual one day conference in March focusing on lifelong challenges of FAS individuals and services for young adults who fall through the cracks. The newsletter advises avoiding cheap or noisy toys, weapons, and complex games, and suggests sturdy, meaningful gifts like puzzles, books, and age appropriate tech, while noting video games can overwhelm the FAS brain.
