Family Learning Fun Zooms! Let’s Make it Happen!

Presenters, pick your topic and your teaching technique. Virtual, video, a hands-on kit, or maybe a small group. We will help you make it happen one session at a time. A Zoom, a kit in the mail, a video at your convenience or any combination of these choices. We have more options and opportunities now than ever before! We are looking for presenters that want to explore their options and put on a Family Learning Fun session in 2022. Contact Ellen Bohn at ebohn@co.dodge.wi or call the office at 920-386-3790.
