Presented by the Board of Trustees of our Chapter

REGISTER

We are excited to invite you and your families (and furry friends!) to our Summer BBQ Potluck! This is a wonderful opportunity to gather, share a meal, discuss the future of our chapter, and simply have fun together.

We encourage everyone to bring their favorite dish or something grillable to share, along with your enthusiasm and ideas for the future of our chapter.

We will have a skilled grill professional (AKA Mike Guichet) who will be "manning" the grill, and we'll provide burgers and hot dogs, condiments, along with refreshing drinks for everyone.

At 12 PM, we will fill our plates and gather in community to share where we stand as a chapter and open it up to all of you to share any ideas for our chapter and your personal experiences as an MCCAMFT member.  Once we've gathered, we will have games and activities for all ages to enjoy.

We look forward to seeing you there and creating wonderful memories together! 

Hello Members,

Welcome to summer! With long days and endless activities this July, MCCAMFT is all set for an exciting second half of 2024. We've packed our calendar with four Continuing Education events, two members-only parties, and plenty of networking opportunities.

Mark your calendars for our next event: the Summer BBQ/Town Hall on August 18th at Via Paraiso Park, 11 am - 2 pm. This potluck-style gathering is open to members and their families (both human and furry). We’ll chat about the chapter's future, share member experiences, grill, play, and enjoy a meal together. Registration opens soon and is free for members and families, with an optional donation. Bring a dish to share! Check the "upcoming events" section of this newsletter for more details and our calendar of events.

I am pleased to announce that we have a new board member joining our team.  Amanda “Cheyenne” Weston is new to our chapter and reached out with enthusiasm wanting to help out.  She has recently stepped into the role of membership chair.  Her position is vital for stewarding new members and making them feel welcome and also reaching out to potential members to grow our community.  Thanks for your help, Cheyenne!  You can learn more about Cheyenne in this month’s member spotlight down below.  

We need your help! Our amazing board of trustees has been working hard to serve you, and we could use some fresh voices. Volunteering is a rewarding way to give back to our profession and our local community. Look out for more info on open board positions and other ways to contribute, whether you're up for a long-term role or just want to help with specific events.

Happy Summer, everyone! 

Warm Regards, 

Amy Snyder, LMFT
