FROM THE HEART         NEWS FROM KIDS FIRST JUNE 2015

Greetings to our friends and supporters,       

 

I'd like to take a brief moment to thank everyone who was involved in the success of our recent Gala/Auction at The Westin on May 7th; your support was so appreciated!  Whether you were a sponsor, a volunteer, a donor, or an attendee (or all of the above), your contribution was vital.  We couldn't have done it without you!  If you were there, we hope you had a great time.

 

As we continue on with our scheduled programming, June brings us the Kids First Program for Stepparents, which is designed to help the stepparent AND the biological parent face the challenges and appreciate the benefits of blending their families.  Viewpoints of children, new partners and former partners are all considered and discussed when tackling these issues.  We stress that both parents in the current relationship, the stepparent and the bio parent, can benefit from attending this program together.

 

Please check the calendar below for other 'happenings' at Kids First.  And Happy Spring!

 

Sincerely,

Peg Libby

Executive Director

9 Rules for Divorced Parents (From a Kid Who's Been Stuck in the Middle)

By Suzanne Jannese

 

On my 42nd birthday last week, my divorced parents of 39 years helped me celebrate by having dinner with me. It was just my parents, husband, and kids (I have no siblings). It had taken 35 years for them to get to this point...
