By Maureen Dion-Perry and Margaret Madams, Co-Moderators
A busy couple of months behind and ahead of us.
Our next Workgroup Meeting will be held on Monday April 9th at El Dorado County Office of Education, 6767 Green Valley Road, Placerville. We start at 6 pm with snacks and socializing, with our monthly meeting from 6:30 - 8:30. Please join us, even if you are not currently identified as a Health Care Workgroup member.
Current projects include:
1. Ongoing work on wallet cards and improving access to birth control services. We have distributed around 3,000 of the 'Western Slopes' card and have two more versions—one in Spanish and one for Lake Tahoe—currently in production. We expect the Spanish version from the printer any day now and would love/need some help in distributing them. Please contact Maureen or Margaret if you can help.
2. We continue to monitor and respond to Health Care legislation and are booking 'House Parties' to raise awareness and help educate constituents about what is happening at both the State and Federal level.
3. Following the success of our earlier 'Community Conversations', we have booked a further event for 'Sierra Renaissance' on June 15th (details to follow). Collaborative efforts with other organizations continue and it is shaping up to be a busy year. Watch this space for future events!!!
You can join our workgroup or ask questions here.
Our thanks to workgroup members and all of you who have supported and encouraged us in all of these projects.
