At North Star Oregon, we come out with a monthly activity schedule that may include activities such as: art classes, bowling, volunteering, or going on different community outings such as going to local events, to the beach, to the mall, or to the park. Currently, we have a group that meets in Albany and a group that meets in Corvallis. There is a centralized meeting spot, however some transportation can be provided depending on the availability of drivers as well as the location of pick up/drop off. DSA groups run from 10 AM - 3 PM, Monday through Saturday. It is up to the individual as well as available openings as to how many days a week that the individual attends.
