Michelle received a $750 check from Dan and Pete for our annual contribution to the Just in Time Parenting newsletter. We have been donating for the last twenty five years. Our donation this year is down from $2,000 to $750.00. The cost is down because the newsletters have gone digital. The newsletter started out to infants for their first three years. Now, they receive the newsletter for five years. We now have parent’s receiving newsletter that received them as infants. All six Kiwanis Clubs in the county contribute to the newsletter. Our newsletter is the largest in the state. They are working to get the newsletters to foster parents and adoption services.
