Hi All,

 

I have a lot of info to pass on, BUT, I’m going to wait a few days so not to inundate and overwhelm you!!!!  The exception is I’m asking you to assist us  in spreading the word about the Partnership’s Parent & Child Playgroup being held at ( & in collaboration with) Cape Ann Families at 28 Emerson Ave. on Tuesday, November 23^rd, 10:00-11:30 am.

 

Stacy Randell, the director of CA Families & I have been doing some outreach to families in regards to promoting our programs, aimed at supporting families with young children.  Group “get togethers” are a great way to hear & understand the needs of families in our community.

 

I am happy to provide copies of the flyer if needed.  Just let me know. 

 

Look forward to info on our WONDERFUL presentations last night from some of Cape Ann’s finest family supporters/educators, updates on Professional Development opportunities and notes from the CFCE statewide meeting I recently attended.

 

Thanks and best regards,

Amy

TRUE COLORS Performance - Tuesday, December 7th at 2 PM - Cape Ann DCF

 

Hi GLBTQ  Liaisons:

 

The True Colors: Out Youth Theater  performance has been scheduled for Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at 2 PM in the Cape Ann Area office.  The office is located at 45 Congress Ave. in Salem, MA.   There is plenty of parking!!!!

 

TRUE COLORS: OUT YOUTH THEATER
True Colors is one of the nation's first and only touring theater programs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth and their straight allies (LGBTQQA), ages 14-22. True Colors' original work captures the complexities of the lives of LGBTQQA youth, their experiences of dealing with discrimination, and their hopes for the future. Troupe members tour their original play to schools, community groups and events throughout New England

 

Please spread the word to your area offices about this fantastic opportunity to see this wonderful performance of out youth, some who are/have been DCF involved.  The performances in the past have been outstanding!   Hope to see you all there! 

 

Any questions, please be in touch with me.......

 

Best, Sharon
