TAP is excited to announce that we will be supporting the 18th Annual Parents' Place Info Fair and Festival. This special occasion allows families that have children with special needs to come together, in an open and friendly environment, to enjoy a lively festival and to find out about the many community resources available to them. Last year, over 2,700 people attended the Fair. To ensure the success of the event, the fair depends on the generous financial support from the community as well as the many volunteers who donate their time and energy.
Last year, TAP was able to support this event by providing a group of dedicated volunteers. TAP would like to continue our commitment to service and invite all of you to participate in this wonderful event. For additional information on Parents' Place, please visit:
