 Hello Beginnings Partner, Since we have moved to quarterly meetings, I am going to try my best to keep us connected on a monthly basis through this e-mail newsletter. Even though we are not meeting face to face every month, I know that you are doing the work of Beginnings in your own jobs and respective communities; spreading the message of 'No alcohol during pregnancy' and helping your clients, customers and communities to understand the devastating effects of prenatal alcohol, tobacco and other substance use. Please keep the communication and feedback coming. I value your opinions and insights. You are Beginnings!
Join Us for our quarterly meeting! Monday Feb 22nd from 9-11am at County Public Health Our agenda will include updates from our partners, viewing of a new ad campaign developed by Cal Poly Art and Photography students, and some time for work groups to meet. Hope to see you there!
