Since we are running the Center in 3-month intervals, we have a lot of time to plan ahead.  YOUR input is very important to us!  We want to create programs that are of interest to you and times that are convenient.


   

Support groups
If you are interested in joining a support group for breastfeeding mothers, or if you are interested in other support groups, please let us know.  We would be happy to organize groups to help fulfill your needs.

 

 

A Reminder:
Please remember to RSVP when you plan to attend a meeting at the Center and need childcare. It is important for Childcare to know how many children to expect in order to make arrangements for the appropriate number of childcare workers.  Thank you.
