In an effort to make community-based organizations aware of other organizations that provide services, as well as networking with the education community, there will be a breakfast in the Activity Building (Building I) at the El Dorado County Office of Education, 6767 Green Valley Road, Placerville. This event will be co-hosted by the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA).

Please feel free to bring handouts and any other informational materials to share. We are also requesting that each organization representative be prepared to conduct a 60-second Ainfomercial@ about that organization and the services provided.

We believe this breakfast will encourage communication and networking throughout the county, enabling all to provide more comprehensive services to the people of El Dorado County.
