Parents’ council meeting

The next meeting for The Spokesman-Review Parents’ Council is on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.

The group gets together occasionally to talk about family, kids, school and many other things all connected to raising a family in the Inland Northwest. On a day-to-day basis, the group stays connected through lively and engaging conversations on the Parents’ Council Blog at http://www.spokesman review.com/blogs/parents/

If you are not a member of the Parents Council, but interested in joining this meeting or if you have a topic you’d like to suggest for the blog, please call Pia Hansen at (509) 459-5427
