Broward: Ages 6-8 Playgroup Get Involved!

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

As many of you know, CARD offers play groups (run by therapists) for age groups

2 and 4 (and they do a great job) and then for the teenagers but there is

nothing for the 6-8 years old group due to budget constraints.

I spoke today to Sotelo and asked her if we could make a paid group FOR

THE 6-8 but she explained that CARD is not allowed to receive payment for

services. So, I asked if a group of parents raised the funds, could we create

the group then? She said yes!! She herself may be the one to run the group.

So, if you have a child ages 6-8 who needs to work on his play skills and would

like to see this happen, please contact me so we can organize ourselves and see

how we can raise the funds. Basically, we would need to raise about $400 per

child for an 8-week session which meets twice per week. (That's like $25 per

each session,per child, not bad.) We would need a group of 6 kids. I guess if

more parents are interested or if the skills of the children involved vary, we

could create a second group(?)

Any one up to the challenge? Fund raising ideas are welcome too( - :
