Children Are Welcome With Parents

Many families enjoy CONNECTIONS, special events, and the affordable housing. Plan to attend CONNECTIONS workshops with your children or have another responsible person accompany them. Or take them to adult workshops with you. Many parents bring snacks and quiet, losable toys. Please sit where you can easily leave if your children become noisy and return when they are settled. Some families bring a helper to play quietly with children while parents attend workshops. Because of space constraints, please do not bring strollers into workshops (including CONNECTIONS), the used book sale, and other such events.
