Monthly Coffee Chats for Parents Coming in 2010

Please join us for monthly coffee chats!  CPA parents need relaxed opportunities to support each other, share experiences, questions, frustrations, and suggestions about raising gifted kids. “Newbies” with many a concern, or “seasoned pros who’ve been through it all” are all invited. There is support in shared experience and we are all in this together. Our first gathering will be Saturday, January 16 at 10:00 AM.  The location will be determined by the estimated attendance numbers. Please contact us at cpaboard@yahoo.com by January 4th to let us know if you plan to attend.
