** Presentation and Resource List**

Thank you, Baton Rouge, for coming out on Mother's Day to discuss PLAY with me!

I was beyond thrilled to have such an active, engaged group of co-learners - the discussions we had were better than I imagined they'd be, and it seems that everyone came away feeling empowered and excited about PLAY!

I can't wait to hold more sessions and dig deeper into our ideas.
