Thank you all for signing this petition! Because Parents and Community members have been getting organized and placing pressure in various ways on the VNA we have seen their leadership change their position. Now, instead of saying NO to reinstatement, in a letter from CEO Judy Peterson, they have said they will work with "parents and community partners to raise funds needed and engage community partners to help us to restore the day of Family Play through the current Fiscal year ending June 30, 2016" While this is promising, staff and programs are still not back. Can you help keep up the pressure by sending a note to board members, thanking them for their commitment to program Reinstatement? Below is a sample letter and a list of Board member emails. Please send an email and let us know by posting that you did so on the Family Room Facebook Page. https://goo.gl/3JJvkb Letter: I am writing as a member of the Family Room parent/community advisory committee to thank you for the VNA commitment, as stated in a letter by Judy Peterson, to work with "parents and community partners to raise funds needed and engage community partners to help us to restore the day of Family Play through the current Fiscal year ending June 30, 2016" We have been confident all along that when staff, parents and community get organized we would be able to work with VNA leadership to restore needed programming and our experienced staff. We will do what we can to make this re-reinstatement happen ASAP and look forward to continuing to work with VNA towards this end, because we know our committed staff is doing their best but our community needs the family Room operating at higher capacity to meet our needs in short order. Thank you. Board Contacts: Johan Maitland (Chair) jmaitland@drm.com Frank Harris (Vice Chair) frank.harris@keurig.com Barbara A.
