  • She reported 26 referrals for the month of February.

The Child Find & Transition Committee reported that they decided that they would need a bigger binder than the one used previously, to hold the information in the transition binder. They will also need money for laminating.

Julie Grygiel motioned to spend $500.00 on these projects. MaryAnn Wilson seconded. No one was opposed. Motion carried.

It was also suggested that the council use the 1" binders we already have for screening information and the "red flag" posters to be given out to physician's offices.

The Public Awareness Committee has no updates at this time.

The Provider Recruitment Committee reported on the upcoming seminar being held on April 5, 2005. The panel speakers are in place and they expect a turn out of about 25-30 people.
