Update: Mar 23, 2012: Hot off the press: we have attached a pdf version of the brochure for the UP Children’s Coalition conference on May 18. Please note that there are three members listed as contacts for more information or questions. We have included information on UPCC membership as well.
Also note that the first 200 registrants can attend for FREE, thanks, in large part, to the Michigan Department of Human Services. Please share this information with others, especially the foster parents you know and those who are interested in becoming foster parents.
We are hoping for a very good response, so help us spread the word!
