Connections Count during National Family Week
Strong families are at the center of strong communities. Children live better lives when their families are strong, and families are strong when they live in communities that connect them to economic opportunities, social networks, and services. These are the main messages for National Family Week: Connections Count, scheduled for November 18-24, 2007.
