Kylie Williams of Centerstone Foster Care Select showed the members of the Crawfordsville Kiwanis Club the importance of becoming a foster parent. Williams, who later adopted her children, was a foster parent in the past leading her to become an adoptive parent.
Currently there are almost 12,000 children in foster care in Indiana with only 5,000 foster homes to help them. Because of this shortage many children must stay in group homes or institutions. It is easy to become a foster parent. Just e-mail Kylie at [email protected]
Carol, thank you so much for agreeing to speak at Kiwanis' meeting on Thursday October 5th.
We will meet at 11:30 at the Crawfordsville District Public Library in the Donnelly Room on the lower level. We will furnish lunch for you and for Denise Walker. We have a short business meeting about noon and then the speakers can talk for 15-20 minutes and then open up for Q&A. We usually finish about 1:00 pm.
Unfortunately I will not be able to be there but I will send you the contact info of someone that you can talk to and will introduce you that day.
Thanks again for agreeing to speak to our club about the reading program that you assist with.
