A free meal is served from 5:30- 6 pm and the workshop is held from 6-7 pm. Free childcare called “Children’s Time” is provided during the workshop.

The evening is free and starts with a meal at 5:30; meetings run from 6-7pm with free childcare provided during the meeting! For further information, call Cara at 273-2266.
Have you ever wondered “Why doesn’t this person understand what I am talking about??? What is wrong with them??” usually the best place to look for the answer is yourself. To help tackle this Circle of ParentsÒ is sponsoring Colors Training on February 22 from 6-7:30 pm. All are welcome for the night to explore this tool to understand how we communicate with our children, our significant other, and ourselves. We also want to celebrate Men and their role in children’s lives this night.
Brian McNeill, who has eight years of experience with the program, will be facilitating the group. Brian is an Extension Educator- 4-H out of the Morris office. Brian says, “It (the Colors Training) helps you learn about yourself and then you start to learn about other people and what really makes them tick.” Pre-registration is required for this program because it is necessary to have at least 10 people, but no more than 40. So first come, first serve Sign up early. We will be meeting from 6-7:30 pm for this special session. Call Cara at 273-2266 to register.
