ABC LONDON

Meetings

Notes from our December 2009 meeting are available at this link.

UPDATED March 1st, 2010

ABC London will be meeting again between late March and mid-April. Please check back here (or watch your email) for date, place and details.

We are looking for suggestions for low or no cost meeting places. We are also going to pick a specific discussion topic for the next meeting and would love to hear what you would be interested in discussing. Send your suggestions to abclondonchapter@hotmail.com. 

ABC London will be meeting on Tuesday February 2nd 6:30-8:30 pm. Please feel free to join in later even if you cannot make it for 6:30 pm. We are trying a new location this time -- the Landon Branch on the London Public Library at 167 Wortley Rd (Wortley Village in Old South).  We will be using the OSCO community meeting room. Parking and transit info can be found at the link below. (Note there is parking behind the building accessible off Bruce St.)

In particular, we have heard from parents interested in connecting with others in similar circumstances such as:

1) home schooling gifted children

2) parenting 2E gifted children, such as gifted + Asperger's

3) parents of children in the fulltime gifted classes (ie. University Heights)

If you would like to connect with other parents sharing experiences such as these please send us an email at the above address and permission to share your email with other parents in similar circumstances.

It has been wonderful to meet so many members at our recent meetings and to hear about many different educational options -- from the congregated gifted class at University Heights to home schooling, private schooling, secondary and separate schools, from Londoners and others in the surrounding area like Strathroy and Dorchester, it is has been a great opportunity to compare experiences and share successes and challenges we have had.

Interested in Connecting?

The London Chapter is looking for youth and adults interested in connecting with other families with gifted children.

If you are interested in helping us with:

- event planning

- SEAC

Or even just getting together for some children, family or adult social events, workshops or speakers, we would love to hear from you.

ABC London also has opportunities for secondary students to earn volunteer hours and develop leadership skills.
