Training Extravaganza Minimize
 

Thanks to the Daughters of Charity Foundation of St. Louis, FACC will host four Training Extravaganzas in 2008. The Extravaganza is an all-day training that allows foster/adoptive/relative caregivers to receive 7.5 in-service training hours in one day, and you can bring the kids, too.  

In order for you and your child(ren) to participate:

  1. you must agree to attend all workshops,
  2. complete the registration form,
  3. return registration form to FACC, and
  4. receive verification from FACC that you are registered. 

Space is limited to 200 adults and 100 children. Because childcare fills up in the first few days, we will use a lottery method to process registration. 

For more information on how to register, the childcare lottery, or general concerns, please contact Kimberly Like at 800.FOSTER.3 x35.
