FCAOC August 2008 News This month’s newsletter is one of the few that the Foster Care Auxiliary mails out and the only one mailed to all OC licensed Foster Parents. The flyers for the picnic, golf tournament, support group, our programs and services, and a member application are included. If you’d like to sign up to receive a monthly newsletter to stay informed of what’s happening you can sign up by visiting our web site www.fostercareaux.com and click the news page. You can obtain a “Kids Eat Free (or low cost)’ flyer for signing up! You can also view past issues of the newsletter here in addition to obtaining much more information. We mainly let our members know what’s happening by email, so if you don’t have one, please consider finding someone who does who wouldn’t mind letting you use it and informing you of events.
