Additional Comments

Our GRANDS Family Support Group is sponsored by the Sadler Health Center and the YWCA Carlisle. Our group began monthly meetings in 2020 until the Covid-19 pandemic curtailed our potential growth. We recently reorganized at the Bosler Library—a more convenient facility/site located downtown with parking. We look forward to growing opportunities for GRANDS Families to meet. Thank you for your assistance and advice.
