Our meetings are the last Tuesday in each month at 6:30pm, March - November at the Milford United Methodist Church, 206 E. Ann St in Milford, PA
Many thanks to our past speakers, including people from The Center for Developmental Disabilities, The ARC of NEPA, Special Olympics Area P, Parent to Parent, Keystone Financial, and Angela and Jim Murphy.
In 2014, we were able to offer many educational workshops, provide discounted IPads to some of our members, and provide summer camp scholarships to two children. Thank you all for your support!
