Port Isabel joins April’s National Autism Awareness Month

Beginning Tuesday evening, the City of Port Isabel will illuminate Point Isabel Lighthouse in blue between dusk and dawn until April 30th, during National Autism Awareness Month.

The United States recognizes April as a special opportunity for everyone to educate the public about autism and issues within the autism community.
