C.A.F.E. GROUP MEETINGS:
The Children and Family Encouragement group, with possible exceptions for Holiday weekends, will hold events on the 1st Saturday of each month – all year round.
*Please note that we will no longer be holding our monthly support group meetings at the Providence Hospital in Portland. We tried for over a month to secure our meeting room for 2007, however due to the large scale remodeling project the hospital is currently undergoing, they could not commit to our dates. So that means we’re moving our monthly meetings! All support group meetings for 2007 will be held at Legacy Meridian Park Hospital. Hope to see you there.
~ HAVE A HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Unless noted otherwise, all events will be held at Legacy Meridian Park Hospital.
