We are working with Special Care okc to pair kids there with kids here

To do list:  The next step:

--We will visit Special Care and then have a meetup

-- Maybe a bowling pizza party for meetup

 Lastly, i will send a link to best buddies online where you have to complete the membership application. Fill out contact information and then proceed with the membership app then just send me a text when you have completed so i can log in and authorize it
--Need membership apps done before break starts, so i can work on the best buddies online over the break
