FROM THE HEART         NEWS FROM KIDS FIRST MAY 2015

Greetings to our friends and supporters,       

 

May is right around the corner and the Gala is coming up fast (on May 7th!) Please register by April 30th.  (If you missed the most recent list of exciting items, you can check it out here).  And don't forget, if you can't make it to the event you can still buy raffle tickets online and win a great set of Noise Canceling Headphones (Beats by Dre Studio 2.0).  

 

In other May news, we've got support groups for kids starting up the first week of the month, and our group for Dads meets that week as well.  We will be offering an evening workshop, "Conflict Resolution" for parents as well as attorneys, mediators, GALs and therapists.  And in local happenings, you may want to check out this workshop being offered in Portland in early June by Erin Oldham, Ph.D. "Your Client's Brain on Divorce."  

 

Sincerely,

Peg Libby

Executive Director
