Kids do come with instructions
Consider taking a Parenting Class – you will learn the latest child brain science research, learn about child development, meet other parents, ask questions, share tips and feel supported in our often harried lives. Remember even if you had great parenting models yourself, you don’t know what you don’t know.

“Friends of ONRC”-Mug-Up
Spend an informal hour with Frank Hanson, education and outreach specialist, at ONRC’s Social Hall for coffee, tea or a hot cocoa before the high school football game. This informal “mug up” is to continue to receive community input about future topics for “Evening Talks” of ONRC.
“Friends of ONRC” and community members (potential friends) are invited from 6-7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19.
Come share your ideas and conversation with a focus on what specifically the local community would like to see for future community talks at ONRC on the Forest and Marine realities we are currently facing as well as local concerns and requested activities.
