Coffee Connection – Wednesday, December 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 December 8th at Starbucks, 3800 Lake Boone Trail, Raleigh.
