4-H: A Positive Youth Development Organization4-H helps young people to reach their full potential as competent, confident, leaders of character who contribute and are connected to their communities. With more than 6 million youth and adults working together for positive change, 4-H enables America's youth to emerge as leaders. They do this through hands-on learning with research-based programs and adult mentorship. All in an effort to give back and enhance their local communities.
In 4-H, youth design and participate in their own programs and activities. This unique learn-by-doing model teaches essential skills that youth will use throughout their lives, such as identifying sparks, desiring knowledge, setting goals, self-reflection, adapting to new situations, communicating, and responding to the needs of others.
Since its beginning in 1949, the Virginia Beach 4-H Livestock Club has catered to this ideal by enabling children to raise, train and show their own livestock. The livestock can include anything from sheep, to hogs, to steer and even poultry. The children learn how to feed a growing animal. They learn how to care for the animals on a daily basis, as well as learn how to prepare them for show – whether it be giving their hog a bath, training the lamb to lead without a halter, or teaching their steers to stand quietly and calmly. The children learn the financial commitment involved in caring for their animals, they learn how to calculate an animals' overall rate of gain for market purposes, and they even learn how to present themselves in front of a judge. Every day, the youth of the Virginia Beach 4-H Livestock club provide living examples of the 4-H motto:
To Make the Best Better!
4-H in your community...

Ubisoft is one of the more well known publishers and developers in the gaming industry. They have made platform games, first-person shooters and adventure games. There is one area they had not delved into and this was a racing game.
They will end that when they release open world racer The Crew to next-gen consoles in Spring 2014. This is an interesting take on a racing game because of how big the map is going to be for the game. The size of New York City in The Crew is about the size of Liberty City in the popular GTA series.
The majority of racing games that come out usually tell you the story and they give a couple of options of how you want to proceed in the game.
However with it being open world this puts all of the control in the players' hands as they decide what they want to do. The key aspect of this game is that there will be role-playing game elements as you do challenges and missions to earn experience points and cash that can be used to upgrade the car you have.
There is an in-depth customization system that allows the player to apply parts to the car and and see what those parts can do to the performance of the car. One thing that is emphasized in the game is that there will an attachment to the the car you have.
In other racing games game you will often switch from one car to the next without having the ability to customize the car to your preferred play style. The developers of this game would like the players to go through the game with them just using one car and making it their own. This choice is totally up the discretion of the player.
The game is also very diverse in the different types of races that you can be a part of. There will be races that take you from the roads, to the dirt and then to the circuits.
Ubisoft definitely has another gem with The Crew and it will be one of those games that can gain a following on next-gen consoles.

Allou Fun Park
Athens' most popular theme park, and one of the most popular in Greece, Allou Fun Park offers children and adults the opportunity to enjoy some seriously exciting rides, such as the Big Apple and Crazy Mouse. There are rides to suit every age group and thrill threshold, from the serene and relaxing to the eye-poppingly scary. The views over the city of Athens from the top of the panoramic ferris wheel make great photo souvenirs. Children under 10 years of age will do better to go to the next-door section of the park called 'Kidom' which is tailored to younger kids. There are lots of games, activities and great meal and snack options available so it is easy to spend a whole day or night enjoying the park with your family.
Access to Allou is technically free - which is wonderful for those family members who are keen to just soak up the festive atmosphere - but rides and activities must be paid for and there are a variety of payment options. If you plan to spend a few hours enjoying the rides then the best option is the Allou Day Pass, which costs between €15 and €21 (depending on the season) and allows you limitless access to almost all of the rides and games.
Address: Agios Ioannis Rentis
E-mail: email@example.com

"Love it! Love it!…"
This was our second visit to France for a family holiday but first time at Peyrecaty and was by far the easiest and most relaxing holiday we've had and the children loved being let off the leash. I'm a bit OCD and normally the first thing I do is wash and clean everything in sight but I didn't have to this time as the house was spotless – F A N T A S T I C! Overall I would say this is a great place for young families as lots to do and my two never wanted to get out of the pool as it was so warm. I've already booked again for next year.Read moreLess

"Amazing and great for the children…"
Amazing place and we had a fantastic holiday there. I just wanted to share my experience with everyone as we thought Domaine de Peyrecaty was a fabulous place and the best set up for families I have seen . We went in June and the weather was perfect for us. The owners who live there were really friendly and helpful and seemed to care a lot about everyone on holiday. The gite we stayed in was great and had everything we wanted there was even a small table for our little 2 year old so he could draw at his own table. The pool was heated and our son loved it. He also loved the toy barn and we struggled to get him away when it was bedtime! We ate there a couple of times during our holiday and I thought the food was excellent and better than a lot of the local restaurants but the best bit was not having to cook every night. All-in-all I would thoroughly recommend them as we truly relaxed and the children had lots of other children to play with so were always entertained.Read moreLess

"Just fantastic!…"
We had never been on a baby-friendly holiday before we went to Peyrecaty but with a two-year-old and four-month-old we thought we should give it a try as the sort of long-haul holidays we were used to seemed a stressful idea. We had no idea that we could enjoy ourselves so much in this sort of environment, but we did! This is partly because the facilities are great and gites are comfortable but also because Helen and Steve are such relaxed, helpful hosts and pay such great attention to detail.
I had to laugh at the reviewer who said that everybody was from the Home Counties as we are from Scotland and the first two couples we met were from Edinburgh and we all knew people in common - although the other reviewer maybe wouldn't have liked this either!
Although our children were little I could see from looking around that there were excellent facilities for older children too and we would like to return some time own the line. My only reservation when recommending it to people is that it will be fully booked next time we want to go back as it is so popular!Read moreLess

"Great for the children and perfect for us too…"
This is a 'fantastic' place and we had a great holiday with our 3 children. Highlights for us was having a lie-in in the mornings while the kids fetched breakfast from Steve, we also enjoyed having a drink at the bar as we could keep an eye on the children in the play barn. Steve & Helen recommended some great places to visit, all within 20 minutes, we especially enjoyed Bournat and Marquessac gardens (great for the kids to burn off their energy) and our eldest son was fascinated with the weapons and siege engines at Castlenaud. At Peyrecaty we opted to have the home cooked meals most evenings as the food was fabulous and it was nice not having to cook at all.
Overall it gets 5 stars from me as not only were the facilities top notch but the standard of cleanliness was exemplarily – a lesson for all the other places we have tried in France. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Peyrecaty to anybody looking for a wonderful family holiday.Read moreLess

"Best holiday ever.…"
Have just booked another 2 weeks at Domaine de Peyrecaty and can't recommend it highly enough. This is going to be our second visit and the children are already hyper now we have told them we are going back. Our biggest problem was trying to re-book as they have lots of people going back each year. Also I think their website www.peyrecaty.com is Brill' with all its info rather than the usual few glossy photos.I can't understand the last review as I found they had an amazing amount of facilities which certainly helped with my three who are 7 years apart.Read moreLess

"Accommodation over rated, doesn't work for families with mixed age ranges…"
We were so excited going here, but we were oh so unimpressed. We have stayed in far nicer places for less money. The main problem with peyrecaty is the layout, at the time of our visit our children were aged 10, 5 & 2. The pool area is totally enclosed and french law states that under 14's aren't allowed in on their own. Which in itself is fine, but the play barn is on the other side of the pool and is separated by trees, therefore when the 10 year old wants to be in the pool and the 2 year old wants to be in the play barn, it simply doesn't work. If you've got endless amounts of cash and you want to pay for babysitters to look after your children then you will probably enjoy this place. Personally the accommodation was too tired and just totally over priced. The bar food was lovely but again it's not cheap. They operate a tab system, so you can't pay as you go...and neither can you drink your own wine near their bar area. Another point to make is that our Gite was very sheltered...which meant we had no view! Had we been on our own with children close in age then maybe the facilities would have been okay - but not the accommodation. The other point to make is that you are not allowed to check in before 5pm on arrival day, and on departure day you have to be out by 10am. And last but not least when you arrive you have to give £200 cash for breakages, which you do not get back until one week after you have left. It was very Home Counties..!! Lots of people who return each year...I have no idea why. The website does a very good job of selling the place...and talks about egyptian cotton sheets etc... our bedding was polycotton, all looked like something from the early nineties and clashed with the curtains...The photos that they use on their website shows a lovely looking lounge area which looked typically French. When we got there some of the furniture had been removed/changed and it looked more mexican than anything. Overall...a little bit too pretentious for our liking! Needless to say...we will never return ;)
Response from owner [21/1/13]
Hi Ali, we are really sad to read your review. Both Helen & I dedicate a lot of our time trying to get things right for families and on our website our priority is to make sure we convey an accurate picture of Peyrecaty, from the photos to all the information given. I'll try to answer quickly some of your points: bar tab – most guests prefer this but guests can pay in cash; home-cook meals are £8 (thank you for saying they were lovely); check-in/out times are necessary as the housekeepers need to ensure properties are thoroughly cleaned; Egyptian bedding is only available (and advertised) in La Loge Rose, all other properties have cotton; Mexican?- the property has red gingham curtains, chandelier, red sofas… . As you rightly said we do get lots of people who return each year and the week you were here 8 of the families rebooked (90%). I'm sorry that on this occasion we weren't right for you but we wish you and your family all the best. Steve & HelenRead moreLess

"We've stayed at lots of 'child-friendly' places and I would…"
We've stayed at lots of 'child-friendly' places and I would say this rates as the best one. They had an amazingly long list of baby items which was great as we didn't have to take much ourselves. Our children are 4 yrs and 6 months and we wanted somewhere that suited both of them as well as us and they were overwhelmed with the number of toys to play with.. We opted for the home cooked meals for both children and what a great move. The meals were cooked by Helen and all the children ate together on the bar terrace - this became a highlight for the children everyday. We liked the proper bar and terrace area as we could be sociable and the children all played together in the toy barn next door, so we could keep an eye on them - this was a great arrangement. The villa we stayed in was wonderful, it had a modern kitchen, I think is was new and everything was immaculate and really clean, it even had Egyptian cotton bedding which I thought was a nice touch. I can see why they are in great demand and have lots of repeat business. As we travel a lot you get to know what is good and bad out there and this is a real little treasure and we'll definitely be going back so I guess that says it all.Read moreLess

"Just returned from our second holiday at Peyrecaty and again…"
Just returned from our second holiday at Peyrecaty and again I have to say what a fabulous place is it. It's so relaxing and our five year old was in seventh heaven as she had lots of friends to play with and we had lots of great times socialising at the bar in the evenings. On the Sunday Helen made homemade cakes for everyone, that was a really nice treat. What we like about Peyrecaty is that you can be secluded on your own at your villa or if you want to be socialable and have all the children mix together then we could wander up to the games barn and the bar. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots to see and do within a 20 minute drive, although I must admit we didn't venture out that much this year as we all wanted to do was relax by the pool! It feels like being part of one big family where we're not treated as paying guests but as house guests and we're looking forward to returning next year with our new baby. We have been to other places but this one ticks all the boxes for us as a family, so I can't recommend Peyrecaty highly enoughRead moreLess

"Great place for kids of all ages. As there are…"
Great place for kids of all ages. As there are 9 gites in total there are bound to be other children for yours to pal up with. Ours loved the freedom to roam about the place, most evenings we couldn't persuade them to bed until 10 or 11 pm. The children made their own entertainment playing football, badminton, tennis and table tennis or when wet in the playbarn. The road mentioned in another review is only used by guests who all drive slowly as they are well aware there are youngsters about. The BBQ night and day trip canoeing on the Dordogne give a chance to socialise with other guests and there is a bar area where families stopped to chat. The ability to order food is great too. If you go make sure to visit Montpazier about 20 mins away, a beautiful old town with great shops and lovely restaurants in the main square.
Some of the kitchens and bathrooms could do with a refurb (grey formica or plastic cabinets) but everything is very clean and most time is spent outdoors. We didn't expect soap and bin bags as none of the other gites we've stayed in provided them.Read moreLess

"We stayed in one of these properties in Sept 09…"
We stayed in one of these properties in Sept 09 and had a nice holiday although weren't blown away by the place. The estate is beautiful and in a handy location for lots of trips to market towns and chateaux, but the properties are in need of a refurb with some dodgy decor (vases of plastic flowers for example.)
That said the hosts are great; welcoming but not to intrusive and the pool is lovely. However given that it sells itself on it's baby-friendliness we thought it could be more safety concious. For example on the website it says that our property has a walled garden - which it does but there are three ungated exits, two go onto the road another down stone steps to anther road, and there were two places on the patio with unfenced drops over a stone wall of a metre or so in height. Additionally the main childrens play area isnt gated and opens up onto the road (granted it's not very busy).
Other minor irritations included stained towels,the house not really being properly set up with soap in the bathrooms, bin liners or diswasher stuff- which when youre spending over.
Response from owner - 21/1/13
Thank you for your review and it's good to read you had a nice holiday here. We took onboard your comments about gates and have since put in new gates. We're sorry your cottage ran out of dishwasher tablets, bin bags etc these should have been replaced by the housekeeping team. Re décor we continually upgrade the properties and always publish the latest pictures on our website. With regard to roads, we would like to say we have a track across the top of our field leading to our house and a small lane for guests to use to get to their house (see pictures Lane into Estate) We enjoyed having you stay with us and hope the family is well.

"Domaine de Peyrecaty is in the Dordogne and up to…"
Domaine de Peyrecaty is in the Dordogne and up to 9 families can stay in individual properties all on a large private estate. Helen and Steve make their guests very welcome and it is a fantastic place for children as there is a large play barn, a heated outside pool and a tennis court. Grown ups can do the self catering if they wish to but there is also the option of home cooked meals too. Our friends said that they had never seen a family with a toddler coming back from holiday looking so relaxed! Thoroughly recommended!Read moreLess

Incoherent and dull, Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm feels like it was edited by someone who was never given access to the shooting script. After an interesting setup that offers some very funny moments from Matt Damon, the film bogs down, losing track of the story and seeming like it has no interest in returning to it anytime in particular. This might be excusable if Gilliam's visual imagination could fill the gap, but the vast majority of the film seems to take place in the same dreary outdoor location, whose nooks and crannies become overly familiar to the viewer fairly quickly. Instead of bringing back fond memories of the best aspects of Time Bandits or The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, the miscalculation that is The Brothers Grimm recalls another infuriating film that ransacked the audience's collective memory of beloved characters, Stephen Sommers' atrocious Van Helsing.

TAMPA, Fla. – Senior Dave Williams (Franklin, N.J.) and junior Ryan Hill (Hillsdale, N.J.) drove in two runs apiece and sophomore Matt Giannini (Millington, N.J.) struck out six and allowed just three hits in six strong innings to lead the Rutgers team to a 5-2 victory over USF in the BIG EAST series opener Friday night at Red McEwen Field.
The Scarlet Knights improved to a BIG EAST-best 10-3 in league play and 22-14 overall, while the Bulls fell to 9-7 in the conference and 27-13 overall.
Rutgers took a 1-0 lead on a two-out RBI single from Hill in the third. The Scarlet Knights pushed another run across in the fifth when Frank Meade (Linden, N.J.) drilled a ball deep in the gap in left-center field and scored two plays later on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Todd Frazier (Toms River, N.J.).
Meanwhile, Giannini shut down the USF offense in the opening third of the game. He didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning, retiring eight of the first 10 batters of the contest. USF finally got a hit off Giannini with one out in the fourth when Dexter Butler hit a chopper deep in the hole between second and third base for an infield single.
The Bulls' second hit of the game, however, tied it up one inning later when Brad Karns hit a two-out, two-run home run over the left-field fence to make it 2-2.
The Scarlet Knights threatened in the top of the sixth, putting a pair of runners on to lead off the frame and sacrificing both into scoring position. However, a nice defensive stop at third base for the Bulls kept both runners at bay for the second out and starter Danny Otero got a big strikeout to end the inning unscathed for the Bulls.
The Bulls threatened themselves in the bottom half of the inning, loading the bases with one out. Giannini worked out of the jam with two huge strikeouts, battling back from a 2-0 count to the final batter, to prevent any runs.
In similar fashion, Rutgers loaded the bases with one out in the seventh on a Luis Feliz (New Brunswick, N.J.) walk and consecutive singles by Frazierand Mike Bionde (Pompton Plains, N.J.). Unlike the Bulls, the Scarlet Knights capitalized on the scoring opportunity to re-capture the lead. Facing a full count, Hill drew a walk to score Feliz for the go-ahead run. The biggest blow was by Dave Williams (Franklin, N.J.), who lined a ball down the right field line on the next play for a two-run double to score Frazier and Bionde and give RU the three-run cushion.
Giannini allowed just three hits with six strikeouts in his six innings of work to improve to 3-3 on the year, before handing the ball over to reliever Jason Downey (Ballston Lake, N.J.) with the three-run lead. Downey worked three scoreless innings with two strikeouts and yielded just three this in his first career save.
Ottero (6-5), who had yielded just 12 walks in 76.2 innings this season entering tonight's contest, issued five walks along with five hits and eight strikeouts against the Scarlet Knights. The Bulls starter gave up five earned runs before being yanked at the end of the seventh in the loss.
Friday's win marked the first-ever victory for Rutgers over USF. RU entered the night 0-3 all-time against the Bull. The teams hadn't faced each other since 1983.
Friday marked the end of an impressive hitting streak as sophomore Tom Edwards (Caldwell, N.J.) had his 18-game hitting streak snapped after going 0-for-3 in the series opener.
Frazier finished the game with one hit to pass former Rutgers All-American and current Scarlet Knights assistant coach Glen Gardner for 10th place on the school's hit chart with his 202nd career hit. He also earned a pair of walks on Friday to pass former Major League Baseball All-Star Eric Young and move into fifth place on the Rutgers career walks list with 111.
Rutgers and USF will continue their series with another 6:00 p.m. game tomorrow. Senior righty Steve Healing (Brick, N.J.) will be on the mound for the Scarlet Knights against junior righty Chris Delaney for the Bulls.

Sumatra's shopping is mostly centred round the larger towns and
cities, such as Padang, Berastagi, Medan and Bukittinggi. Most of
Sumatra's towns have plenty of road-side stalls selling the usual
tourist souvenirs such as fake designer goods and Bintang t-shirts.
For a more western shopping experience head to places like Minang
Plaza or Plaza Andalas in Padang. Fantastic bargains and buys can
be found in Padang - with a bit of haggling. Head to Padang's Pasar
Baru street market for great buys like leaf hats, batik silk
fabrics and clothes.
In Bukittinggi, make a stop at the bustling Pasar Atas market for souvenirs, and explore the town itself for a plethora of craft, jewellery, and antique shops. For fresh produce, the nearby town of Berastagi is best known for its fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly passion fruit. Travellers wanting a real taste of Indonesia should try betel nuts from the market in Berastagi, which are chewed together with lime and tobacco; or pick up some local palm wine known as tuak. Another good buy is Sumatran coffee beans, which are prized by coffee connoisseurs the world over.

The Walt Disney Company has announced it will no longer use paper products sourced from endangered forests.
Environmentalists are calling the initiative a "big win" for the world's rainforests, which are disappearing at a rate of 500,000 trees per hour.
The move towards more eco-friendly paper products will be carried out at all of Disney's 25,000 factories in more than 100 countries.
In addition to preserving woodlands, the new policy aims to minimize paper consumption and maximize the use of recycled fibres.
The worlds forests are facing multiple pressures. Disneys actions to better understand its paper usage and supply chain send a positive signal that the company recognizes the seriousness of this issue, said Ruth Nogueron, an associate of the World Resources Institute, in a statement.
This is a welcome step that reflects Disneys commitment to support responsible forest management.
Since 2009, Disney has invested more than $27 million in forest preservation projects.

Safety Announcement
[2-20-2013] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is updating the public about new actions being taken to address a known safety concern with codeine use in certain children after tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy (surgery to remove the tonsils and/or adenoids). Deaths have occurred post-operatively in children with obstructive sleep apnea who received codeine for pain relief following a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Codeine is converted to morphine by the liver. These children had evidence of being ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine, which is an inherited (genetic) ability that causes the liver to convert codeine into life-threatening or fatal amounts of morphine in the body. Read the full announcement.

Home Made Soy Milk
Home made Black Soy Milk. While a tad on the time consuming side, the resulting milk is way superior in taste to that of the commercial stuff, and much creamier, too. As for the color conferred by the black beans, while it was not as unusual as I thought it would be, it was still very pretty to look at. Those three aspects together made it somewhat worth the extra effort.

is any one human being heavily associated with the founding of Hinduism?
In my mind there are five great world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Four of these have certain human beings heavily associated with their origin. Buddhism has Gautama Siddharta, the Buddha. Islam has Mohammed. Christianity has Jesus. Judaism has Moses, plus other figures like Abraham and David. But what about Hinduism, who is Hinduism's great central figure, if any? Or is it different from the others, and how, and why?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 9 2013: Hinduism and Jainism are never considered religions... both are treated as "a way of life". Similar as Jainism, Hinduism also does not have a single preceptor. As evolved mankind... so did Hinduism in stages. As the inherent intelligence of human beings became receptive for godly messages... various sages and saints invoked Vedas (Hinduism revelations) that are considered first word of God Almighty on mother earth... primary of which are Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda.
As Vedas were voluminous documents... they were beyond reach of masses! Only religious pundits and scholars of that era indulged in them. As more and more sages and saints indulged in Vedas... some wrote individual treatises termed Upanishads in Hinduism. There were above 200 Upanishads available on different topics relating to spirituality... not religion (path of rituals)! As both Vedas and Upanishads were still not approachable by masses... by grace of God Almighty came Lord Krishna... an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form).
The existence of Vedas (Hinduism revelations) was above 3000 years earlier to coming of Jesus Christ and that of Bhagavad Gita about 1500 years! The advent of Lord Krishna resulted in sermon of Bhagavad Gita delivered to Arjuna in the battle of Mahabharata between Pandavas and Kauravas. The sermon of Bhagavad Gita had no parallel in mankind. It contained everything that was contained in various Vedas and Upanishads relating to spirituality. Following precepts contained in Bhagavad Gita, any human being world over could easily reach god in one's lifetime!
From the above analogy it becomes amply clear that Hinduism never had a single preceptor. The best part of Bhagavad Gita was... it had universal appeal! Any human being world over... belonging to any religion, faith or belief can ceremoniously follow teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita even while following ones religion. More on Bhagavad Gita here- http://www.bhagavadgitasummary.com
Jun 15 2013: Why would you say Hinduism is not considered a religion, Vijay? Or, as a related question, what do you mean by, it is a way of life? Other religions certainly are ways of life, for example Judaism is famous for its dietary rules about not eating pork or shellfish.
Who was Lord Krishna?
Is it known who authored the Vedas? Who were they?

A Guide to Supporting Youth in Foster Care to Prevent Teen Pregnancy
"This report combines messages directly from youth in foster care in Georgia with national research to provide insight and advice to adults working in the child welfare sector. Understanding a youth's feelings and opinions regarding the risks of early pregnancy and prevention strategies can help child welfare professionals provide more effective support for the young people they support in foster care. Below are suggestions on how to find the balance between helping youth in care have a "normal" adolescent experience while providing them with the support they need to overcome barriers they face as a result of being in the child welfare system."
Grief and Loss Coping Strategies for Foster Parents
"You may experience grief when a foster child leaves your home. Certainly, parents are grieving when their children have been placed in out of home care. Children being placed in your home are experiencing grief related to their removal, changing schools, losing contact with friends, worrying about their parents, missing their pets—the list is a long one!" - from Washington State's Grief and Loss Coping Strategies for Foster Parents FACT Sheet

Fostering LGBTQ Youth: Helpful Information for Foster Families
"Like all young people, LGBTQ youth in foster care need the support of a nurturing
family to help them negotiate adolescence and grow into healthy adults. However,
LGBTQ youth in foster care face additional challenges. These include the losses that
brought them into care in the first place, as well as traumas they may have suffered
while in foster care. They also include stressors unique to LGBTQ youth, including
homophobia or transphobia3 and the need to evaluate (often with little or no support)
the safety of their communities, schools, social networks, and homes in order to
decide whether to disclose their LGBTQ identity, when, and to whom."

Becoming a Foster Parent
Attend an Open House in your Area
One of the first steps in obtaining a foster care license or adoption license in CT is to attend what is traditionally called an Open House. At an Open House event you will receive information about both the foster care and adoption licensing process, including special needs adoption, medically complex foster care, therapeutic foster care,foster care for adjudicated youth and enhanced foster care. The presenter will also discuss mentoring opportunities and respite care (short term foster care.) You will be afforded an opportunity to ask questions. And you will leave with a packet of information including contact information. If you would like to attend an Open House, your regional coordinator will be happy to set up a reservation for you with one of our partner agencies. Please call or email the regional coordinator (through our contact page) for your town to assure that a packet of information and a seat will be reserved for you. Walk-ins, however, are always welcome.
FAM makes every effort to list all Open House events for each of our partners, however, some of our partners do not hold traditional Open Houses. Please visit our partners page and click on their links to find out how to schedule an appointment with them or to get more information about their foster care programs. Additionally, all Open House information for the eastern corner of CT is listed on the Hearts, Hands, and Homes website. Click here to navigate to their site.
If you have any questions regarding the Open Houses listed and cannot reach the contact person, please call the FAM office at 203-706-0101.
