An important goal of the Parent Coalition is to provide the connections and resources for families to make their voices heard. The Annual Legislative Coffee provides a relaxed environment for people to meet their legislators face-to-face and communicate their experiences in a meaningful way.
  
Prior to the coffee, there is an informational forum and guided discussion. Whether you are knowledgeable about the legislative process or completely new, this information is important to make the most of the opportunity with the legislators.  
  
Attached is a flier for the event. Please distribute to others who may be interested.
 

Due to limited space, please register by contacting Monica:

715-0170, ext. 303, monicab@arcwhatcom.org
