Second Saturday workshop: What Women Need to Know About Divorce
The May workshop is on May 14, 2011. 8:00 am - 8:30 am registration, 8:30 am program begins, 12:30 pm or 1:00 pm program will finish.
The workshop is co-presented by a lawyer, financial planner, mediator and counselor. Its purpose is to educate women in transition so they can make informed decisions about how they want to proceed. Participants will get general information about processes, legal requirements and how to interact effectively with professionals.
Location: Heart Connections, 305 West 16th Street, Vancouver, WA 98660.
Contact person to RSVP: Lynne Smith (360) 213-1801.
Cost: $45. Scholarships are available for low-income participants.
QUESTION: Is anyone interested in setting up a similar workshop for men? I have been approached about this. My participation in Second Saturday has been a rewarding experience for me and I think Clark County men in transition would benefit from a similar workshop. However, I think it would be better if men led that effort. If anyone is interested in exploring that possibility, please contact me: Vickie Kesala 326-3083 or vkesala@gmail.com.

CCBA IMPORTANT UPDATE
All –
It was brought to my attention that Diane Wheeler was laid off by the Board of Directors yesterday. As of today, the CCBA does not have an Executive Director.
I’m not sure if everyone is aware of the amount of time and effort Diane gives the FLS. She has been a major source of support for us. For the foreseeable future, our FLS officers must cover her duties. This puts enormous importance on our officers for next year. If there is no CCBA next year, there is no question that we should continue the FLS as but we will need to make some major changes like reformulating the duties of our officers and possibly adding another officer.
There is a CCBA General Meeting on Monday, May 9 (this coming Monday) and I think it would be a good idea if our members attended.
Diane wants the group to know how much she enjoyed and appreciated working with us and that she will miss us all.
