AGENDA
Welcome - Gail,

Tracy – Introduction of all present. Cards for new members, sign in sheet.
History/Overview of YRN – started in probation with collaboration in community. Jane Stevens lives in our community and is founder of ACEsConnection.com, organization to help build collaboration and share information. In Yolo started working with people from many groups, networking, working to implement resilience practices in our community. Showed Paper Tigers last fall and continue to make inroads, especially in educations, around TIC, toxic stress and resilience and ways to support.
Currently looking to reach out to community and find champions in multiple areas in our community. Continue to provide support and connections in fields we’ve reached out to and help.
