Happy summer and happy July! Our wish is for all to have a safe and enjoyable independence Day Holiday filled with family, friends, and yummy food. Below are the July updates for Family Light including opportunities for YOU to connect!

​

STARTING SERVICES/REGISTRATION

If you are not yet participating in Family Light services and would like to begin, OR if you have a friend or family member who would like to connect, please start by completing the 5 pieces of registration paperwork at the link here. We like to get all our paperwork done upfront so it's "one and done". Once you have completed the 5 initial registration forms, you can participate in any of our services at any time without the need to complete more forms! The only time you would need to complete more paperwork is if you decide to change or update information on your Release of Information sheet etc. 

 

PARENT BOARD OPPORTUNITY

Family Light is looking to grow our Parent Board. This board is comprised of Family Light participants who have an interest in supporting and growing our services for local families. Individuals on this board meet monthly to discuss opportunities and ideas for things like fundraising, new services, family activities, outreach etc. No special skills or requirements exist for being a part of our parent board. You just need to be a parent participating in our services with a desire to contribute and share ideas for supporting families! If you are interested in being a part of our Parent Board, please complete the Parent Board Application at the link here.
