Tentative Agenda
REGISTRATION INFORMATION COMING FEBRUARY 1.
Registration opening soon!
We are excited to offer another Sibshop in the Madison area.
WisconSibs Sibshops are workshops for children ages 6-12 who are brothers and sisters of children with disabilities. Sibshops are lively, relaxed events that combine recreation, information, and discussion, and give siblings the opportunity to celebrate the contributions and the challenges of their brothers and sisters with others their age.
Our March Madison Sibshop will be held at the Elver Park Neighborhood Center when we will have an morning of fun connection with other kids who ‘get it’.
Registration is $15 per participant, paid via credit card or check. Registration is required to attend, sign up today for a day of fun with Sibs! Please add your child’s information in the Participant Information section of the registration.
Please reach out to our office if you have any questions.
Here’s a chance to connect with other adult sibs while getting into a book on your reading list or a new read.
Any Sib may join from anywhere in Wisconsin. Books are chosen by participants and meetings are held once per month via Zoom.
Don’t always have time to read? Join us anyway. Be open to a world of PosSIBility!
My dying wish is for you to finish my bucket list. I refuse to die without knowing this list will be completed. And I refuse to die without knowing my family will be okay . . .
In the meantime, check out our closed WisconSibsREAD Facebook page.
