NOVEMBER PLAY GROUP
Thursday, November 5th

Even though the temperatures are dropping and making us feel cozier, we all still need time to play and socialize. Join us for two hours of fun and conversation every first Thursday of the month. We hope to see you there!
NOVEMBER LOSS SUPPORT GROUP MEETING
Thursday, November 5th
6:30-8pm
145 Columbus Road (the Intelliwave building, around the back)
If you are in need of support because of a pregnancy loss, or the loss of your child, you are welcome to join us. These meetings are free and facilitated by a professional counselor. All family members such as grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, as well as friends are welcome. The support group is held on the first Thursday of every month and childcare is provided. Please let us know if you will be bringing any children so that we can be sure to provide enough supervision.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: WHAT CAN YOUR FAMILY DO?
Tuesday, November 24th
7:00 to 8:30pm
At the Athens Library
Please note that this meeting is on a different day of the week.
Have you ever wondered what you can do in advance to prepare for the next power outage or ice storm? As we move into the season of inclement weather, join us for an informative discussion led by Linda Solt of the American Red Cross of Southeastern Ohio. She will share her presentation on preparing an emergency/disaster kit for each person in your family, even your pets. There will also be time for questions and discussion about all ARC-related topics including childproofing your home, choking, and hands-only CPR. It will be an evening chock full of good information so bring your pens and notebooks!
