Sunday, June 22nd at Keener Park in West Chester, OH (about 20 miles north of Cincinnati) from 1-5 pm. The cost is $20 per family and registration is required by June 2nd.
This is a great event for pre and post adoptive families to meet with other families who've used the services of the IAC. Dr. Staat and her staff always attend (including Kelly Hicks the IAC nurse practioner and Carrie Johnston, LSW the clinic's social worker).
The kids love it! There is a clown and her "circus" this year. Lunch is served at 2:00 (KFC Chicken) and each family is asked to provde a side or desert. It's a great chance for kids to mingle with other IA kids and parents to network.
You can e-mail Shelli Giess to get a copy of the e-mail or contact Barbee Sjodahl at the IAC for more info or by calling 513-636-2877 option 2.
