The October Meeting of PEG is Scheduled
Greetings Parents and Friends,

We are pleased to announce that the next meeting of the Parent Exploratory Group (PEG) is scheduled for:

Date:   October 4, 2001
Time:   6:30 to 8:00 PM
Place:   Dauphin County Technical School
         Room 139
         6001 Locust Lane, Harrisburg

Given everything that has happened, we would like, if you agree, to keep this meeting more of an open discussion without a strict agenda. Last meeting everyone wanted to and really did discuss very openly on a variety of valuable topics.

My experience thus far has been that there is a lot of emotion and concern regarding September 11 that has not yet fully come out and that people seemingly need to express. October 4 is still over two weeks away, but I believe those feelings will still be there and that new ones will arise as this situation continues to unfold.

We wish to respect that need and provide the opportunity to you to set the course of this meeting without feeling constrained to someone else's idea of direction. I personally would like to explore the reactions of our children to the difficult events of last week and understand from you how others are coping with this terrible tragedy.

Of course, other topics related to our teens, our relationships and affective skills may certainly be brought to the table for discussion. As always, it is your choice.

May I request that each person, if you can, bring a small snack (cookies, dessert, chips, etc.) or drink to share with the rest of the group? As before, I think Larry and I can handle the glasses, dishes, spoons, napkins and other utensils.

The PEG meeting is open to all parents and friends who can attend. If you have not yet been to a PEG meeting or if you missed the last one, feel free to attend this one. You are always more than welcome.

As before, if you are planning to attend this meeting of PEG on October 4 could you please drop me a note of confirmation at AffectiveSkill@aol.com. This helps us greatly with planning.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

John Borland
