Family Room Family Celebration and Reception 01/07/2017

In spring 2016 the Family Room Family, a dedicated group of parents and community members, responded to budget and staff cuts at the Family Room with a fundraising campaign which raised just over $70,000 and allowed for the return of two staff members whose jobs were cut.

The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) which has run the Family Room since its founding announced in March 2016 it would no longer be running the program, and convened a transition team to create a plan for a future Family Room outside the VNA.

This reception celebrates that transition with a showing of photographs from Family Room families. The exhibit of Family Room portraits by Steve Mann will be on exhibit in City Hall Dec 20-Jan 31, 2017.
