Training and Recipe Exchange

Profile Training and Recipe Exchange!

7:00 p.m. Training
3210 Sage Crest Dr

Please RSVP and let us know how
many will be coming
nenevadafsa@gmail.com
or call Criscell @ 801-556-4391

Since we had to cancel the last training, this is a redo. We were thinking since we have no budget this year that everyone bring a treat or appetizer to share, along with a couple of yummy recipe's to give out to everyone. Make sure you bring the recipe for the yummy thing you bring, but you can also bring extra recipe's that you and your family love. Make sure you bring about eight to ten copies of your recipe. We will do the recipe exchange and eating at 6:00 and then training at 7:00 sharp. If you are not in the adoption process you don't have to stay. Please no Children at the training unless they are under one. Email us and let us know what more you would like to learn. We are hoping that we can incorporate more that just profiles into this training since we have missed a month. Please email us at criscell.spencer@gmail.com.

November 12th

Meet and Greet/Training

November 12th 12:00-3:00 p.m.
@ the Sagecrest Chapel
3210 Sage Crest Dr
ELKO, NV 89801

(By the Home Depot)

Since this is our first get together we will be doing a meet and greet along with our training. We will have pizza, and ask if everyone will please bring a side dish or treat to share. After the lunch and getting to know everyone, we will be doing a training. The training will be on "Understanding Birth Mothers". This is part of the required training you will need if you are in the adoption process. If you are not in the process of adopting, you won't have to stick around for the training, but if you would like to stick around, you may. Thank you!

Welcome!

We are so excited that we can start an FSA group here in Northeastern Nevada. FSA or Families Supporting Adoption is an organization sponsored by LDS Family Services which advocates a positive view of adoption and provides support to birth parents, adoptive couples, children and all friends of adoption.  We want to keep you informed of all our activities locally and nationally.  We will be posting training dates, activity dates, and helpful informational links to help you and your adoption journey.  Whether you have adopted, are in process of adopting, or a birth mother, we hope that you can find the support you need here. Along with this blog we hope to send out a quarterly newsletter to inform you of past, present and future items.  Please email us and let us know if there is anything you can think of, that we can add to our blog or newsletter to further help you.  Thank you!  You can email us at nenevadafsa@gmail.com
