ITAO Book Club Starts New “Live” Meetings

Jan 11, 2016

ITAO is trying something new with the Book Club this year by changing from an on-line forum to meeting in person! We will talk about our current book using questions from the DHS Alternative Verification Form, making it easy to fill in the DHS form to receive the 5.25 DHS training credit hours for the book plus a certificate for an additional training credit hour, thus fulfilling the annual training credit hours with the DHS. Neighbor Islanders can join us via the internet. Details of the first “live” meeting are:

DATE: April 13, 2016
TIME: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
LOCATION: Family Programs Hawaii, 250 Vineyard Street, Honolulu
BOOK: Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter

Through the generous support of the Victoria S. and Bradley L. Geist Foundation, we are able to provide copies of the book to the first 15 people who get back to us saying they want to join us for the April Book Club meeting.

If you are ready to join or have questions, contact Judith at (808) 540-2540 or at jwilhoite@familyprogramshi.org.

Thank you for all you do to help children and youth!Three-little-words-book
