Adult Community Outings January - March 2010

Adult Networking!

We are working hard to make sure that our Adults enjoy outings and getting to know each other!

The committee had our first meeting on March 24th 2009 and we discussed the barriers, opportunities, and concerns that everyone at the meeting felt. We continue to use your feedback to create this quarter’s schedule. If you have any suggestions of outings or other opportunities that you would enjoy please email Krista Bader at krista.bader@asmallmiracleinc.com or Wendy.Vos@asmallmiracleinc.com.

We look forward to seeing you all out with us!

For our Valentines day festival/dance we would like adults interested in volunteering their time to as chaperones at the Valentines day festival/dance. Please note this will not be the entire duration of the dance so there will be time for our volunteers to dance as well!
