Welcome to Community Conversations 2019-2020!
Community Conversations is a monthly meeting of community members to discuss important topics of the day. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month, September -November, and January-April. Lunch is provided with the opportunity for a free will donation to cover those costs.
Why Play? "For children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” ~Fred Rogers Are we losing sight of what children really need to be successful in their first year of school and beyond? Early child development hasn’t changed, but our world has. Technology, screen time, scheduled activities and focus on early academic success is interfering with the childhood experience. Emerging research is indicating our children are spending less time in free play and the impact is staggering. Representatives from The Parenting Place, including Jodi Widuch, Executive Director, will discuss the increasing importance of free play for young children in our high-tech world. |
We welcome all who want to make a difference.
Lunch is provided. Free-will offering is appreciated. Registration is not required, but encouraged. |

In an effort to strengthen our community, Community Conversations looks to engage citizens in thoughtful, theological, non-partisan and non-political discussion about local economic and social issues. We invite anyone who is interested in making a difference.” |
