Amador County – First 5 Amador & First 5 Calaveras have partnered to sponsor “Celebrating Families and All Who Nurture Children,” a free “parenting opportunity” for parents to participate in a live presentation by Ann Corwin, Phd, the “Parenting Doctor” and Kent Williams, a National Fatherhood Mentor.

Cheri Garamendi Aguiar, School Readiness Coordinator for First 5 Amador said Corwin is one of Oprah Winfrey’s favorites. Corwin will present: “Why Mothers Aren’t Fathers, and Why They Shouldn’t try to be.”

Williams will present “Fathers and Men – Strengthening Families & Communities.” Garamendi said the free seminar is a perfect “parenting opportunity” for Father’s Day weekend.

Sponsors are the Resource Connection; Calaveras County Special Education Learning Plan Area Community Advisory Committee; Strengthening Calaveras Families; the Prevent Child Abuse Council of Calaveras; and Calaveras M.E.N.

The presentation is 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18 at Bret Harte Theater, at 323 S. Main Street, in Angels Camp. Free child care is available for children ages 3-12. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. Call (209) 754-6914 to register.
