The speaker at last weekend’s Opelika Kiwanis Club meeting was Luanne Helms. She came and spoke on Autism Awareness. Helms son Jake developed autism when he was 2 years old. Helms advocates throughout the community for autism awareness and provides opportunities for families to come together and enjoy social activities. The Opelika Kiwanis Club will not meet next week due to Thanksgiving.
