Developmental Disabilities Council

For

more information about the Children's Movement of Florida, contact

Abrams at david.abrams@... or go to http://childrensmovementflorida.org

A new initiative,

called the Children's Movement of Florida, is growing statewide, led by a

large non-partisan group of state leaders. As a spin on the successful

" tea parties " , this movement will kick off with a series of

" milk and cookies " parties across the state, beginning in

Pensacola and going to Key West. (See the Proposed September Schedule

below for the dates, times and contacts in your area.)

The goal of the rallies is to have 1,000 people per location in order to

attract the media and to make a statement to the Florida legislature that

kids are our priority. Each site will attract families and

advocates with giveaways, local bands & choirs, balloons,

entertainment, local celebrities, milk & cookies, and buses to get

folks to the event, etc. The events are backed by grants from the Kellogg

Foundation among several others.
