FSN/Wake County Board Member Application

Coffee Connection – Wednesday, February 8th

Please join Family Support Network of Wake County  for coffee, tea, and connections at Starbucks the 2nd Wednesday of every month.  Meetings with topics and speakers are great but sometimes it’s just nice to get together, without pre-planned topics, and talk about whatever is on our mind at that moment.

We will meet between the hours of 9:00—11:00 a.m.  You are welcome to come for part or all of the time.  The next meeting will be February 8th at Starbucks, 3800 Lake Boone Trail, Raleigh.

Sibshops – Friday, February 10th

Sibshops give brothers and sisters of children with special needs an opportunity to meet other siblings in a relaxed, recreational setting.  It gives siblings the chance to explore their feelings in creative, light, and fun ways.

The next Sibshops class (for children ages 8-13)  will be held on Friday, February 10th from 6-9 p.m. at Resurrection Lutheran Church in Cary.  To register your child for the class please contact Jodi at (919) 662-4600, ext. 257 or email.
