Would you like to get together with other parents who have children receiving services during the morning hours after the kids have been dropped off at school to have a cup of coffee/tea and support one another?  If yes, then mark your calendar for a once a month (the 3rd Thursday of every month) Morning Coffee from 10:30am to 11:30am.  The next Coffee/Tea will be at Vicki Lee's in Cushion Square on December 20th.  Contact Mary Jo Peterman, info@familyyoga.us to get on the BSEAC Morning Coffee distribution list.  RSVP's would be appreciated – info@familyyoga.us
