Jennifer would like to help you make progress with this important endeavor and has volunteered her resources. Pre-registration for this event is required. Please RSVP by July 30th. There is a $15 fee per person or family, which covers all supplies necessary to complete three lifebook pages.

If your child is age six or more and has a sincere interest in helping to create his/her lifebook, bring them along!  In addition to the materials for three lifebook pages, there will be little treats for everyone in attendance!
