The next general membership meeting of the Parent Hospital Association is coming up this Saturday, November 8th, from 10 a.m. to noon, in McDougall Hall at Sonoma Developmental Center. The guest speaker will be Tamie Hopp, who is part of VOR, the organization that is made up of families and others who support state-run facilities like our own Sonoma Developmental Center. She will give a national perspective and share the latest on the new CMS regulations and how they affect us.

Also, as most of you are aware there is another Task Force called by Secretary Dooley. The focus of this Task Force is on community services. Information will be shared about how the work of the latest Task Force impacts Sonoma Developmental Center -- there is much work to be done in order to protect SDC residents.

Please plan to join us on Saturday!

And...if you have not yet seen a copy, the latest issue of The Eldridge Gazette is available for download (pdf file).
