A Decade of Community Service
For the past 10 years, our community has demonstrated how much it values families through its commitment to supporting The Family Center. Volunteers, donors and all of our partners are sharing their time and expertise, providing in-kind donations and giving generously with financial contributions.

Dear Friends of The Family Center,
Over the last 10 years, we have addressed more than 10,000 parents and professionals about issues that impact our children! As The Family Center embarks on its 10th anniversary of serving the Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods communities, I am privileged to be continuing my service to The Family Center in the new capacity of board president.
As a long-time member of The Family Center, I have had the opportunity to be involved in the many enrichment programs offered to meet the ever-changing and complex needs of families in our community. Having served on, and chaired, the Early Childhood Committee, I know The Family Center continues to develop programs and events to engage and support young families as they begin their parenting journey.
Dear Friends of The Family Center
The Family Center is excited to be entering our 9th year of service to the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods communities! We are a local, community-based organization whose goals are geared to benefit our local community. Consider donating "local" this year by supporting The Family Center. By supporting The Family Center, you, in turn, support your community.
Letter From the Director
Each New Year brings hope of new beginnings, a time for new opportunities, a chance to reflect and refresh. With the present economic situation that faces us all, we have received more requests and inquiries than ever for information from both parents and professionals. The Family Center stands ready to serve.
We have many new programs and offerings to share that will help address the needs of our community. Look for our sought-after enrichment programs to develop in the coming year, featuring new topics of interest for parents, caregivers, professionals and youth.
Letter From the Director, Spring 2009
Spring has arrived! We have two interesting programs planned for May. The first: ChariTea Bear's Tea Party is a new signature event for The Family Center. The event was a great success. View photos from ChariTea Bear's 2009 Tea Party here. We will also be hosting a Meet & Greet for School & Mental Health Professionals. Read more in our Spring newsletter's calendar section. Download the newsletter here.
We also have prepared a PowerPoint presentation from our recent Meet & Greet event that summarizes the work of The Family Center:
This is the time of the year when we review our past programs and plant the seeds for upcoming programs. Two of our program planning committees - Early Childhood and Youth - are busy planning our fall and winter presentation lineup. Our Circle of Friends committee is busy working on our spring, fall and holiday events.
