March 16th, Meeting Wrap-Up

We had a busy meeting this month. We had Sonya Lovegrove travel all the way from Canada to give a wonderful and informative presentation on Relationship Development Intervention (RDI). Both the afternoon and evening session had a great turnout of professionals, parents, and a couple of community members. If anyone would like to know what the presentation was about, I took many notes and I'd be happy to share them.

I want to send out a big thank you to Christa Gardner for helping to bring Sonya Lovegrove to our community, and for helping me to prepare food for the luncheon and evening meeting.

From Michigan Technological University, we had Elyse Beebe and Colin McCorkel. Elyse and Colin brought three fabulous weighted blankets that they designed themselves for a product design class. In addition to presenting the blankets Elyse and Colin collected parents feedback to include in their final project.

On a final note I want to thank everyone for all of your hard work. Without such woderful and supportive speakers our support group wouldn't be able to bring the awareness that is much needed for our parents. It was a delight and a pleasure to hear you all speak!

Cheers!!
