The NFXF Western Massachusetts Chapter set a goal to make connections with Fragile X community members outside of their local area. Chapter leader, Denise Devine, took to the road and organized a gathering at a local Bistro in Waltham, MA. Denise said the evening included “great food and company”! The lively discussion included sharing of ideas and programs.
Thank you, Denise, Rachel and Joan, for an evening of connection and sharing!

The ABLE Employment Flexibility Act
The ABLE Employment Flexibility Act (H.R. 4672) permits employers to contribute to an employee’s ABLE account instead of a 401(k) – including an employer’s match. By saving it in the ABLE account it will not adversely affect most means-tested federal benefits.
