Ideas Wanted for the
2016 Parent Resource Fair
BSPN wants to make the 2016 Parent Resource Fair the best
ever, but we need your help. Let us know:
 What would you like to see at the Resource Fair? What
needs does your child or your family have that you
haven’t been able to meet? We want to fill the fair with
the types of exhibitors you want to see.
 Who do you recommend? Do you have a dentist who
makes checkups a breeze? Have you found a
recreational activity that has enriched your child’s life?
Please let us know so we can invite them to exhibit at
the fair.
Please submit suggestions to rudi@bspn-batavia.org.
