Fall 2022 Preview

Greetings,

On behalf of everyone at the Commission on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, we hope you all have enjoyed a safe, healthy, and happy summer. This time of year is bittersweet for most families and caregivers because it represents the ending of beautiful (and hot!) weather and time outdoors and the beginning of preparing for fall and back to school. We hope you squeeze in as much sunshine and good times in what is left of summertime!

The Commission has been working on putting together workshops, trainings, and other events for Fall 2022. Below is some information about things to come. Watch for more detailed information in future newsletters.
