All submissions need to be received by the Newsletter Editor no later than the 10th day of the previous month for the next
month’s newsletter. If there is an activity that you or your family haven’t seen on the calendar in a while, or ever, please
come to a planning meeting or call a board member. We always welcome new ideas. If sponsoring an event is a little
intimidating, think about co-sponsoring it with a board member or another member.
Thank you to the following members who sponsored events last month: Jennifer W., Barbara C., Matt M.,
Francesca N., Betty B., Julie C., Joanne R. Your efforts on behalf of Lake County Chapter #247 are greatly
appreciated.
All activities are BYOB unless otherwise noted. No alcohol at family events.
PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF
PARENTS WITHOUT PARTNERS
AS CONSCIENTIOUS SINGLE PARENTS, it is our primary endeavor to bring our children to healthy maturity, with the full sense of
being loved and accepted as persons, and with the same prospects for adulthood as children who mature with their two parents
together.
ADULTS AND CHILDREN in single parent families face unique and challenging circumstances. For children to mature and flourish
in the absence of either parent requires an added measure of love, understanding, and sound guidance. To provide these is a
responsibility inherent in parenthood, regardless of marital status.
THE CHALLENGE OF PROVIDING for both ourselves and our children a nurturing family life is often complicated by establishing
patterns of community life. Consequently, a need for community resources to assist single parents in communicating and meeting their
own special circumstances exists.
THEREFORE, IN THE CONVICTION that we can achieve this end through working together, through the exchange of ideas and
through the mutual understanding, help, and companionship which we find with one another, we have established “PARENTS
WITHOUT PARTNERS, Inc.” to further our common welfare and the well-being of our children.
