Click here Announcement from the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council For more information about the Children's Movement go to www.childrensmovementflorida.org or contact Abrams. 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. (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. The state tour is being kicked off with a rally in Tallahassee on September 7 from 6-7 p.m. at the Civic Center. The goal is to have 1,000 people at the Civic Center on the 7th. There is no cost to attend the rally or to participate and children are invited to attend with a family member. Free milk, cookies and pizza will be provided.
