The Longmont Chamber of Commerce had a Ribbon Cutting for Stacy's Book Launch at Niwot Market this past Tuesday October 16th.  As described in the Prologue of her book:  The Social Diet: The 7 Essential Ingredients for Raising Socially Connected, Well-Balanced and Caring Kids (Especially Those with Social Learning Challenges), "The intention of this book is to teach parents, caregivers, or anyone who loves a child how to connect with him or her on a deep level."  She adds, "I do not want to waste your time or repeat what you can easily find elsewhere . . . I want to give you the kind of information that isn't out there.  I want to give you the information that people are not talking about but perhaps should."

 

Please let others know of the book and that they can get a copy on Amazon.  Congratulations, Stacy!

We are scheduled to meet at the Niwot Elementary School after our Rotary meeting on Thursday the 18th. I have cleared it with Nancy Pitz, the principal, and we will be visiting both 3rd grade classes.

 

I have printed the dedication labels and inserted a personalized version in each dictionary.

 

 

Thank you all for your help in this.

 

Rotarily,

- Jo
