Eight Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid employees have pledged $50 each to participate in No-Shave November, which is a national effort to raise money and awareness for cancer. The team members will be soliciting additional donations from their friends and family. Participating this year are Chief Goldman, Lt. Nugent, Lt. Hannafin, Lt. Fowler, Dispatchers Cilley, Nelson, Rice and Searles. LRMFA male staff will grow out their beards, and female staff will be allowed to wear colored hair and nail polish for the month of November. All donations will be donated to a charity in the name of cancer research. For more information, contact Jon Goldman at 528-9111 or jgoldman@lrmfa.org.

The Parent Information Center seeks to develop a pool of well-trained facilitators for Positive Solutions for Families (PSF). PSF is the caregiver component of the Pyramid Model Framework. This six-session series is designed to help professionals working with parents of toddlers and preschool age children to promote positive and effective parenting behaviors, that in turn promote children’s social and emotional development and address the challenging behavior and mental health needs of children. Attendees must agree to attend two full days of training and facilitate (or co-facilitate) the series twice in their community by June 30, 2020. Teams are encouraged to register/facilitate together. Space is limited and priority is given to those serving in iSocial communities.
