Children’s Summit To Focus On Community Planning

Sponsored by:

Murphys, CA — Making children part of Calaveras County´s General Plan is the focus of the 2006 Children´s Summit taking place Friday at Ironstone.

First 5 Calaveras Executive Director Karen Pekarcik says the county should be planning communities that result in kids growing into healthy adults who can afford to live here.

The summit begins at 8:30 a.m. at Ironstone Vineyards.

Local officials will look at including a recently completed children´s master plan into a potential General Plan update.

The children´s plan is called Our Children, Our Community and is a 10-year master plan for Calaveras County children and youth.

The theme of the day is “Building relationships to sustain safe and healthy communities for children and families.”

For more information on the summit contact Arleen Garland at 754-1205 or Jim Cudziol at 754-6110.
