Subject: Next Thursday evening meeting September 14, 7:00 p.m.

This month's evening meeting features some special guest speakers. Tammy

Urey, Verbena s, and Krista will be speaking about their

services for the special needs community. DAUFY is a residential and day

habilitation service provider in the Alpharetta area. The service was

started in 2004 as a residential provider and recently opened a day

habilitation service in downtown Alpharetta. DAUFY supports individuals

with developmental disabilities in the community through residential and day

habilitation so that they can participate in the community with minimal

supports.

The September 14th meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. at the Alpharetta Crabapple

Government Center, located at 12624 Broadwell Road in Alpharetta at the

intersection of Crabapple and Mayfield Roads.

Special Note:

The Fulton County Human Services Department's Office of Children & Youth has

announced the 1st Annual Family 411: Neighborhoods in Action series, a

district by district outreach effort to inform, educate and empower

communities to get involved in programming for young people.

The series of events will include interactive displays by all F.R.E.S.H.

(Fulton Roundtable Expanded Services Headquarters) grant service providers.

F.R.E.S.H. is a grant program managed in the Human Services Department whose

mission is to distribute funds to non-profit agencies serving children and

youth in each district of the County. The agencies serve all Fulton County

residents and funds are distributed equally among each district the County

serves. Your input is desired to let providers and the County know what

services are needed by the public.

This program is scheduled for next Wednesday, September 20 at the Isakson

YMCA on Preston Ridge in Alpharetta. If you are interested in applying for

this grant, you must appear at one of these meetings in the coming week.
