Cedars Family Association

Welcome to the
Cedars Family Association
(CFA) webpage

When your family member joins Cedars, we also welcome you as a member of the Cedars Family Association.

Our Purpose:

  • We support Cedars, its staff, clients, and their extended family members through meetings, forums, and events.

  • We serve as a regular setting for family members to discuss and provide input on topics of common interest with members of the staff.

  • We help Cedars share its mission and services to increase awareness of issues affecting individuals with developmental disabilities.

  • We raise funds for the Staff Holiday Bonus

We schedule meetings and forums throughout the year.

  • Regular family meetings are held three times a year. You will hear updates from Cedars Executive Director and other staff on current projects, new initiatives, and future plans. There is always a chance to participate and to ask questions regarding Cedars operations. We often have an outside speaker at these meetings.

  • Forums are dedicated to a specific subject of interest to the families. We usually schedule them twice a year, more frequently as topics of interest are identified and requested by members.

  • With Covid restrictions in place, we have been meeting via ZOOM, on Saturday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30am. Once restrictions are lifted, we will resume regular, in-person meetings.

If you would like more information about the Cedars Family Association or upcoming meetings or events, please contact:
Betty Lefevre at betty.lefevre@yahoo.com.

The CFA has created a confidential family directory which will be available to CFA members to help build connections and opportunities for collaboration between Cedars families.

Please complete the consent form online if you would like to be included. If you have any questions please contact Barbara Smith at Hawkhousehotmail.com
