📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

This has been in the works for a while.

Although our core group members could remember what FIND was an abbreviation for, we wanted to simplify things in hopes community members with disabilities and their families could more easily find the connection and support they need in the Columbia Valley.

So, without further delay, we have a name change for our group!

Columbia Valley Family Inclusion Network for Diverse Abilities will now be called….

DISABILITY COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

🎉🥳👏

We will also be holding meet-ups every two months instead of monthly.

Our next meet-up will be April 25 - Family Meet Up - details to follow.

Take Care,
Cynthia
