In the city in which I live, Tacoma, I'm not really familiar with the services for young children that are available as I am in the city in which I work, Bremerton. But thanks to a call last Friday from on old friend who is in the kid business in Tacoma, I was able to be privy to a party on Sunday in honor of a local early intervention agency, one that she started to fill an unmet need. I could certainly identify with the purpose of the work, as outlined by the director in her opening remarks. I felt immediately at home in my own city. gw
