Guess what?

Josie, Carmin, Patty, Eli, and I realized that many of our cohort members will be bored on December 25, 2009. Some of us either don’t have family members in USA or commemorate Christmas on Christmas Eve.

Well, we had to do something about this inconvenient…

We are going ice skating on December 25, 2009 at Millennium Park, Chicago…

We are planning to meet there around 10am. There is a $10 fee to rent the skates and everything else is free.

Are you feeling like ice skating with us? We will be happy to have you!

By the way, we don’t know how to ice skate, so we will all fall together and have fun!
Happy Holidays!!
Monica :)

Hello Josie,
Thank you so very much for speaking with me today and for identifying presenters for the March 26, 2010 conference taking place at Prairie State College.

Prairie State College is working in partnership with the Good Shepherd Center to plan
their 19th Annual Parent Institute Day. This is a one day conference for teachers, daycare providers and parents that focuses on presentations related to children's issues. We are in the process of identifying Spanish speaking presenters for
our breakouts sessions. Presenters are all volunteers - i.e. no fees are paid to presenters, but they do receive free conference registration, breakfast and lunch. Traditional attendance has been 300 people.

There are 4 different topic tracks we are focusing on and are looking for presentations on any of these topic areas:

1. Relationship Development - how to enhance the relationship you have with a child as a parent, teacher or mentor

2. Special Needs_ - topics related to children with autism, ADD, down syndrome, developmental delays, speech issues, etc.
3. Ages and Stages - topics related to a specific age group and their development from toddlers to teenagers

4. Health and Wellness - kids nutritional needs, fitness, mental health, etc.

If you are interested in submitting a presentation for review, attached please find a presenter proposal form. We are asking for proposal forms to be faxed to the number at the bottom of the form by Friday, December 18, 2009.

Thank you!
Julie
