The type of information that would be helpful includes information on: our local school systems including special circumstances in regards to the needs of our children; shopping and recreational activities; educational opportunities for adults; churches and religious programs; access to medical care. All of this information is invaluable to families just moving into the area or ones that are starting out on new journeys in their life.If you have a specific family need or relocation issue, the Work-Life Staff is available to assist you.
