The  public is invited to The Eighth Annual Young Children's Issues Forum, to be held on Saturday, March 24, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 noon, at Willow Pass Community Center 2748 East Olivera Road, Concord.  This free annual community is event sponsored and organized by the Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development (LPC), and is coordinated by the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE). The purpose of the event is to provide a forum for discussion among legislators, local officials, and the community regarding current children's issues.

Historically, the majority of the event attendees are child-care providers, preschool teachers, program administrators, community college faculty, and representatives from community agencies.  Resources, services, and other information related to child care and education, a benefit to parents, will be available at the event.  The LPC hopes to encourage and foster parent participation, as well as participation of all child-care providers in the county, including private and state-funded centers and family care providers. 

For more information about the annual Young Children’s Issues Forum, please contact the Contra Costa Local Planning Council for Child Care and Development Coordinator Ruth Fernández at (925) 942-3413.  Registration is not required to attend this event.
