Family Support network

10-8 Fall Potluck and OPEN HOUSE

Join us for a night of fellowship and information!

We are hosting a potluck dinner where friends, family, members, and staff can come together and connect! Members are looking forward to providing tours and sharing what they have been working on, families can learn more about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, and everyone can network and connect. Staff will be available to talk about what they are working on and you can get to know how our programs have been developed to flex and meet interests and learning needs.

Everyone is invited to contribute a dish to the potluck dinner - soup, salad, pasta, dessert, bread, snacks.... please register so we can keep track of the selections (and we don't end up with five trays of baked ziti!). Remeber - peanuts and seafood are not allowed due to allergies. BUT we do have enough friends with gluten, dairy, or sugar sensitivities to encourage bringing items that meet these dietary needs. As always, we encourage you to share the recipe!

Welcome!

The Family Support Network is comprised of parents, guardians, and family members. Our mission is to serve as a support network to each other and to serve as a liaison to the STG Staff. We also hope to provide mentorship, friendship, and information to local families supporting people with disabilities. It takes a village.... so that makes us "THE VILLAGE PEOPLE!"

BUT IT DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT YOU!!

Volunteers are needed to build this cooperative group. Please consider volunteering your time, or connecting us with excellent volunteers. If you can contribute your time to this very important purpose - email Toine (thutchinson@starthrowergroup.com).

Some of our goals include:

Develop ideas for monthly social "parent-only" gatherings (STG can help provide respite/services for parents' night out events)
Run monthly/quarterly meetings. Meeting agenda includes:
- informing families of STG updates and upcoming local events
- keeping families up to date on volunteer and social opportunities
- discussing value added topics, which includes having guest speakers
- fundraising for STG - we need ideas and help!!!
- providing feedback/suggestions to staff for new ideas and resources
Maintain a clear calendar for family participation
Create a new member welcome team for families
Networking and resource sharing

Please feel free to reach out with questions or suggestions!
