Fifth Annual Force for the Future

Thank you to all who attended our

5th Annual Force for the Future

Policy Luncheon on Wednesday, April 1, 2015!

 

Keynote Speaker, Rebecca Holcombe, Vermont’s Secretary of Education, receives a standing ovation after a moving and compelling address about children and learning in Vermont.

***

We were thrilled to see our guests engaged in conversation and discussion about the importance of supporting children and families…

***

  

…and ways to advocate for organizations, systems and policies that promote education, health and well-being for families in our community.

***

This year, The Family Place is celebrating 30 years serving children and families in our Upper Valley community!

 

***

Parents in our Families Learning Together program enjoy showcasing their fine crafts, using skills learned in our jewelry studio worksite.

***

 Our JewelryOs® Collection necklaces, bracelets and earrings remind us all of the child in each and every one of us.

***

The annual Policy Luncheon brings together concerned and engaged community members including members of The Family Place’s Board of Trustees who work tirelessly to support and communicate TFP’s mission.

***

Special thanks to Vermont’s Secretary of Education, Rebecca Holcombe, who shared her personal family story, illustrating the need for all children to have a safe, supportive, stable system of support in their lives.
