Monthly Meeting Update

As in previous years, TAAG has suspended indoor meetings for the summer and will instead be hosting oudoor activities until meetings resume this fall.

Be sure to check out our “TAAG in Action” section for information on our summer activities and events!


TAAG in Action

Throughout the year, The Adult Autism Group plans regular outings that give our members opportunities to connect. Especially during the warmer months, we often take our gatherings out into the community, choosing shared experiences over indoor sessions.

Our members have enjoyed everything from bowling nights, pool parties, trivia, and game nights to evenings at the zoo, movie outings, museum tours, and dinners together. We’ve explored New Salem, visited pumpkin patches in the fall, attended comic conventions, and celebrated together at our annual holiday party.

We’ve also taken day trips to St. Louis and Chicago, creating opportunities to explore, learn and experience something new as a group.

These outings are more than activities. They are about building friendships, increasing confidence, and creating a sense of belonging in the community.

May Activity

Join us for a fun evening at the ballpark as TAAG heads out to see the Springfield Lucky Horseshoes on their opening day!

Wednesday, May 27 | Robin Roberts Stadium | Game Time: 6:30 PM | Meet-Up Time: 5:45 PM (by the ticket booth)

Parking tip: If possible, plan to arrive around 5:30 PM to make parking easier.

TAAG will cover the cost of admission for attendance. Concessions will be available for purchase, but please note this is a cashless venue, so be sure to bring a card or mobile payment option.

Event details, including additional information for our participants, are available in our TAAG Facebook group. Please be sure to check there if you plan to attend.

June Pizza Ranch Fundraiser

Our June activity will be a Pizza Ranch fundraiser on Wednesday, June 24, from 5:00-8:30 PM.

The event will serve as both our monthly activity and a great opportunity to support TAAG in a fun, relaxed setting. Even better – TAAG will cover dinner for all volunteers as a thank you for your time and support.

We’ll be sharing more details soon, including how to participate and what to expect during the evening. To help us keep things organized, specific event details will be shared in our TAAG Facebook group.

For now, mark your calendars – we’d love to see you there!
