Sass., CoordinatorGreetings to our Foster & KinshipCommunity Summer is upon us, the days are bright and warm (let us hope the days do not get too unbearably hot). We can be optimistic about this year s summer weather and anticipate great beach, hiking or picnic days to enjoy with the children in your care.

2 If you were able to plant a vegetable garden this spring I hope you can delight in the fruits of your labor in the summer and the fall months to come. Create lifelong loving memories with the children in your care by having them join in the harvesting of your vegetable garden. Sharing thesemoments will provide a priceless gift of memories that will be with themforever; giving children the tools to have a successful life begins with the gift of positive memories. Our foster care team wishes you a festive Fourth of July and a fun filled Labor Day. We hope you are planning some magnificent fun in the months to come for the children in your care. In September, please plan on attending our annual event Birth to Five; we look forward to seeing you there.
