MONTH IN REVIEW: June 2019
Posted on: July 1, 2019 | Posted in: Community Blog
The summer is upon us here in San Diego, and the month of June brought more than just sunshine and higher temperatures for the San Diego Military Family Collaborative! During June, the Collaborative hosted its first-ever Member-Only training, “Collaboration 101,” as well as another successful Monthly Convening focused on “Growing a Family in the Military.”
SDMFC’s First-Ever Members-Only Event: “Collaboration 101”

Monthly Convening: “Growing a Family In the Military”
On Friday, June 28, the SDMFC hosted its Monthly Convening at SAY San Diego – a temporary stand-in for our usual meeting place, the Mission Valley Library – and focused on the topic of “Growing a Family In the Military.” We were humbled and privileged to have had such a powerful and supportive discussion on so many various obstacles and challenges that life can throw at military families. Thank you to all the panelists who participated – Akia Isom, Tracy Owens, Katy Hendrickson, and Isabel McNeish – as well as our attendees. Check out the fact sheet of the convening by clicking HERE!
