After three years of hosting events online, the NFXF Western Massachusetts and Connecticut Chapter organized a casual evening out. The group consisted of moms, siblings and self-advocates. Tammy Selinger, NFXF Connecticut Chapter Leader, said, “it was exciting to be back in-person and the evening was wonderful! The evening was filled with conversation and new connections were made!”
The Western MA and CT chapters plan to organize additional in-person gatherings later this year!
Thank you Denise, Tammy, and all of those who attended for an evening filled with laughter and connection!
