An open invitation

Wednesday, July 17th at 6pm, we will be gathering in Winchester, Virginia to come up with several ideas on how to keep the Child Development Clinic services local.

If you have ANY ideas on the subject, I encourage you to join us! We will have several members of local community services, the school system, local politicians, the local news media, passionate advocates and concerned parents.

EVERY VOICE IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT!

Please stand with me, with the children of our community who need this essential service, with the families that love them and want to give them every opportunity in life... Stand up for what is right!

If you are interested in attending, you can contact me at nsvar.org@gmail.com , 540-692-6136 , or by using the contact form on www.nsvar.org and I will give you all the pertinent details!

If you are unable to attend but have an idea or suggestion, please email it to me and I promise you it will be read at the meeting!

I hope to see you there!

Appreciative

Today the "Godmother" and I met with Dr. Charles Devine at the Winchester CDC. We were joined on conference call with Sidnee' Dallas from the Virginia Department of Health.

The meeting was very productive, and only the first of many. We are brainstorming to find a way to keep services local.

I am thankful for Dr. Devines time, Mrs. Dallas' time and especially thankful to "The Godmother" (but sure if I can say who yet) for taking part today. Looking forward to involving some area movers and shakers in the next meetings!

I'm hopeful. Very hopeful...
