TREASURE COAST UNIT
Hello TC Unit Social Workers,
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and making time to rest and relax! I am happy to reflect on our Unit’s accomplishments in this past season as we held some great CE Workshops and events. I was able to work and connect with many professionals in our field who are doing marvelous work in the community! We are now looking forward to planning a great 2018-2019 program year.
On Saturday, July 28th, 2018 we will be hosting our first Steering Committee Potluck & Planning Retreat. It will be held in Palm City from 10am-1:00pm. If you would like to be a part of our planning retreat - please email us promptly at treasurecoast.naswfl@socialworkers.org for your invitation. We can use your help planning our upcoming events.
