Comment on We need your input–Monthly Meeting Attendance by Darcy Groenink

We have not been coming for over a year (or more) mainly because of the time and distance. With our daughter being in school now, she needs her sleep in order to function the next day. Also, the drive to Rockford can be a little daunting at times. I wish we could find a more “central” location - or is that considered “central”? I would love to be more involved in the future but right now it just isn’t working for us.

I love the idea of “pay as you go.” As the parent of an older girl (almost 12) the meetings were enjoyable, but we no longer “fit” into most of the issues. I did attend Jerry Jenista MD’s presentation, but even she was primarily focusing on what to expect with a baby. After probing, we got some surprising answers to some of our daughter’s health issues.

In addition, some of the language used now regarding the adoption process isn’t even familiar to me! There is all sorts of chatter around you as to what is going on with their process, but I can’t relate to it. Still, I enjoyed hearing the excitement in peoples’ voices as they wait.

We didn’t renew last year due to money matters and more involvement in school/community events. Had I known about the calligraphy artist, we definitely would have been there. Our daughter is very artistic and would have loved it.

Thanks for your innovation in the face of change.

We haven’t been able to attend because of other commitments on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Our schedule is pretty busy, and it just hasn’t worked out for us to attend in quite some time.

Thanks!

It is strictly location. We are not driving from Byron Center to Rockford on a week night that also happens to be a school night.

I found a pretty comprehensive resource for our community on the Families for International Children site. Why re-create the wheel huh. http://www.fficgr.org/id8.html
