CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ADVISORY BOARD HOSTS WORKSHOP

The Volusia County Children and Families Advisory Board will host a workshop from 3 - 5 p.m. Monday, July 28, at the Volusia County Health Department, 1845 Holsonback Dr., Room 516C, Daytona Beach.

The workshop is open to the public and is being coordinated to offer an opportunity for input to the 2009-10 consolidated funding application for the County of Volusia and the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties. Attendees will be asked to participate in one of three working groups to discuss the administrative, program and budget sections.

Registration to attend this workshop is not required. A copy of the 2008-2009 application is available at http://volusia.org/countycouncil/cfab.htm. Workshop participants are asked to review the application and come prepared to present recommendations.

The Children and Families Advisory Board assesses and evaluates strategies to meet needs, monitors program compliance, advertises funding availability, recommends appropriations for programs serving children and families, and provides recommendations to the Volusia County Council on children and family issues.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida statutes, persons with disabilities who need special accommodation to participate in the proceedings should request assistance at least two business days before the workshop.

For more information or accommodation, please call Peggy Johnson, children and community programs coordinator, at (386) 736-5955, ext. 5694.
