Craft & Connect for Adult Adoptees: Fox Valley Area
April 10 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Calling all adult adoptees and/or those who experienced out-of-home care as youth! Join us for a relaxing and creative evening of pottery painting and meaningful conversation at The Fire (230 E. College Ave., Appleton). Light appetizers will be provided.
You’ll have the opportunity to paint your own mug, salad plate, bowl, or medium-sized figurine (materials provided, up to a $30 value per participant). As we paint, we’ll also have space for open, supportive discussions about the adoptee experience—connecting with others who truly “get it.”
Craft + Connect events are casual, welcoming, and facilitated by an adult adoptee to ensure a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Whether you’re here for the art, the conversation, or both, we’d love to have you join us!
Registration is required for this event – please do so by Sunday, April 6th. With any questions, please reach out to vzegers@cclse.org.
If you are not able to attend this event but are interested in receiving emails pertaining to other adult adoptee events, please reach out to Christy at creppe@cclse.org to be added to an email list.
This opportunity is offered through the Wisconsin Family Connections Center and the Journeys Program, and is funded by the Wisconsin Department of Children & Families.
