Day One - Welcome

Welcome to Morgan Community Network!  As I have become an involved parent in my Morgan County community, I have felt a greater need for:

- an easy, convenient way to connect busy moms and dads to important information.

- quick access to the latest info regarding community events and issues specific to strengthening families.

- community information to be accessible in a more comprehensive way, and thus assist parents in making the BEST choices for their own families.

- a venue to educate and strengthen individual families, and thus strengthen our community, state, and country.

These are some topics that will be addressed in this and coming weeks:
*  Organizations that serve and strengthen families in our commmunity:

• Morgan Empowered
• Morgan County Council
• 4H
• Chamber of Commerce
• Morgan City Council
• Informal local organizations for crafts, book clubs, play groups, canning, gardening, lunch get-togethers, etc.

*  Is parental involvement in public school very important?

• What is the difference between PTA and PTSO?
• What is a "Community Council"?
• What can I do to help my child be his/her best?
• What issues pertaining to my family were addressed at our local Board of Education meeting?

*  Can I, as an individual parent, really make a difference? How?

If you are looking for family and community strengthening information such as this, then this is your blog.  Welcome to "Day One" of our Morgan Community Network!  Blog-in tomorrow for "Day Two"...
