Meeting Schedule and Location

Notice:  As of January 2007, FAVAN meetings will be held at the Farmington Senior / Community Center, 321 New Britain Avenue, Unionville

We meet once a month, throughout the year (except August), on the last Tuesday of the month at 7 pm, at the Farmington Senior / Community Center, 321 New Britain Avenue, Unionville.  Meetings alternate between informal, open discussions with topics chosen by parents, and planned speakers talking about a specific topic of interest to the group.

We are currently finalizing plans for meetings for the fall, winter, and spring.  We are working with several speakers to work out the details of dates for presentations.  Updates will be published here and in the FAVAN newsletter.
