Upcoming Pause Specific Events |
September is the start of our PARENT'S NIGHT OUT EVENTS!
At Pause, we believe all parents need a break in order to operate at their best. We are better mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends when we can unplug from our responsibilities. Special needs caretakers can spend between 7-12 hours a day just in care alone for a kiddo with complex needs. We believe it is paramount that we offer a break to those parents. That is what Pause is all about - allowing those caretakers a chance to unwind, relax and regroup through Parent's Night Out events.
We currently host Parent's Night Out respite events at 3 different sites throughout Butler County. We are still looking for volunteers for our three September Parent's Night Out events! Registration is now open!
- Charleston Club Parent's Night Out -- Thursday, September 8, 2016
- Center Point Parent's Night Out -- Friday, September 16, 2016
- Hamilton Church of God Parent's Night Out -- Friday, September 30, 2016
