21 Apr Calling all special needs families and advocates in The Villages!
Anyone who advocates for special needs loved ones knows how difficult it is to navigate the social services maze in Florida, in addition to the sad reality that wait lists are long and programs are severely underfunded. These services are so critical for the long term care of our children. Local residents are banding together to influence much needed policy change and improve access for those in need.
Please join Debbie Beaucaire, Kevin Jenkins, and his mom Debbie Jenkins to learn more about this important cause, as they want to work with the special needs community to initiate a letter and email campaign to state officials.
When: Wednesday, April 24, 2024 from 9:00am-12:00pm
Where: Coconut Cove Recreation Center, 1398 Stillwater Trail, The Villages
Or
Tuesday, April 30, 2024 from 5:00pm -7:00pm
Coconut Cove Recreation Center, 1398 Stillwater Trail, The Villages
Please bring your Villages ID
