2nd Annual MAFCU Golf Classic- A Resounding Success
 On
Wednesday, June 3, 2009, 96 golfers enjoyed a day of golf
under sunny skies at the locally renowned Blue Mash Golf
Course in Laytonsville, Maryland for the 2nd Annual
Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union (MAFCU) Golf Classic to
benefit CSAAC Foundation. Although everyone on the course
was a champion for individuals with autism, the 1st place
prize went to the team which included Eitan Borreda, Carl
Stein, Jim Reuther, and Chris Hart. The Men’s Longest Drive
award went to Eitan Borreda, and the Women’s Longest Drive
was won by Lilly Muzzatti. Bill Van Winkle was “Closest to
the Pin.” The event raised nearly $15,000 for CSAAC
Foundation. We thank all of the golfers for making it a very
special day, and MAFCU for their kind support in hosting
this event for the second time. We would like to thank and
acknowledge the following sponsors:
Silver sponsors: Danya International, Confidence Title
Hole sponsors: EagleBank, The Green Turtle, PW Campbell,
Brinks
Special thanks go to Ron Dimaranan, Glen Lazovick, and Rick

Deloitte Volunteers make a difference
 On
Friday, June 5, 2009, approximately 70 employees of
Deloitte, a worldwide leader in financial advisory services,
volunteered their time for their annual “Impact Day” at
CSAAC’s Brookeville Campus of the Community School of
Maryland to give it a makeover! This is the third year that
Deloitte has selected CSAAC to be among their beneficiary
agencies for their community service Impact Day. This was
coordinated by Craig Pardini, Asst Director for Building
Facilities and Administration at CSAAC. The volunteers
painted our Intensive Early Intervention building and the
upstairs area of the school building. The Deloitte team
also assisted our Information Technology Department by
researching and recommending several no cost technology
software and solutions and reviewing our network security.
Thank you to everyone on the Deloitte team for making this
possible.

Ready, Set, Aktion!!!!
 Adults in the residential program draw together one evening
every other month and learn how to better advocate for
themselves and give back to their communities. Led by
Kim Dennie, CSAAC’s Director of Quality Assurance, this
group now has national standing. Through their
relationship with the Kiwanis Club of Montgomery Village, a
local service organization, the Self-Advocates Group has now
become an official “Aktion Club” of the Kiwanis
International, called “Individuals with Choices, A Kiwanis
Aktion Club.”
