Journal Decorating for Family Voices of WI
Overview:
Family Voices of Wisconsin (FVW) is a non-profit organization established over 30 years ago to assist families with navigating health care, community support, and services for children with disabilities and special health needs. It has three main areas of focus including educating families so they can be effective advocates for their children, supporting family members as leaders in their community, and engaging in policy and systems change. These goals are achieved through a wide variety of in-person, virtual, and on demand programing and online resources.
Join us on Saturday, February 28th from 1:00-2:00 pm as we make journals for some of the parents that are part of FVW's support groups. These journals will be customized with positive messages, designs, etc. and provide a creative outlet for reflection, self-care, or place to track information discussed at one of FVW's events.
What to expect:
We'll start with brief intros and an overview of what Family Voices of Wisconsin is. Then we'll work together to decorate the journal covers!
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
This event is open to all ages (we'll have younger kids make drawings and encouraging notes for the families) and we have room for approximately 6 families. Members* will be able to register for the first week, and then we will open any remaining available spots to guests one week prior to the project.
What to bring:
No need to bring any supplies, just bring your creativity! All needed project materials will be provided by SBK.
What to wear:
Feel free to wear your SBK shirt if you have one and bring your lanyard to collect your ribbon if you're a member.
Additional information:
This project will be held in the Community Room of the Pewaukee Public Library. Enter the main doors off the parking lot and the room will be immediately to your left.

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
