Happy New Year to all....
Now, I will say it again...we need to turn our attention to letting legislators and The Governor know about Parent to Parent Programs and family support by rallying in Olympia during the upcoming legislative session. Wear your buttons, bring your stories!!
Check your calendars and sign up to be a Parent to Parent hostess with Bean at The Arc for a Wednesday during February & March 2011. They have the funds for travel.
