Clinicians, educators and parents share strategies for understanding, coping and intervening. After the DVD program, Linda Gort-Walton, CRNP of SouthEast Lancaster Health Services will lead a question and discussion session about FASD. Many agencies will provide credit hours to parents who attend. FREE Children's Programming is available. Refreshments provided.

Join us on Sunday afternoon June 22 for
STARS third annual Family Cook Out at Buchanan Park Pavilion on the campus of Franklin and Marshall College. A nice children's playground and restrooms are next to the pavilion. Open grassy areas are all around so we will have plenty of space for athletic activities.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, rolls, condiments, potato chips, paper products, utensils and bottled water will be provided. You may want to bring other drinks for your family. Families are asked to contribute a side dish to share with others. Here are a few suggestions. Store made side dishes are just fine.
