POLSON — The Parents as Teachers program of the Lake County Public Health Department is sponsoring a “Community Connection” that is open to all area parents on Friday, Sept.19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The lunchtime event will take place in the Department’s conference room at 802 Main St.

Guest speakers Diana Schwab and Emily Colomeda will present information on car seat safety. Diana will also be available to check to see that your car seat is installed correctly. A limited number of infant, toddler and booster seats will be available to those who need them.

Family Support Specialists will be on hand with information about the PAT program, and lunch will be provided.

The PAT program is a free, voluntary program that provides twice monthly home visits with age-appropriate activities for children from birth to age five, developmental screenings, and information and referrals to area resources. Parents can be enrolled in the PAT program as soon as they are pregnant, which many moms-to-be and dads find to be very helpful, since babies don’t come with a manual.

We hope to see you on Friday, Sept. 19.
