Kirk Martin - May 25!

Kirk Martin and his son, Casey, will be in our area on Wednesday, May 25, for a free evening parent workshop at Willow Creek Church in South Barrington. Hey, this is a lot closer than Naperville or St. Charles, so mark your calendars right now and block out this evening. Are you ready to be a courageous parent?

Kirk and Casey present informative, entertaining and meaningful programs for parents and students. So gather up your kids and show up at 6:45PM for the 7:00-9:00PM program.

Stop defiance and power struggles

Geneva will be the place to be on Saturday, October 23, at 10:00AM, if you are a parent of elementary, middle or high school students who are a bit of a challenge at times.

I don't mean Lake Geneva or Geneva, Switzerland.

I mean Geneva, Illinois! Kirk Martin and his 17-year-old son, Casey, will be at Geneva High School to present their program, "Are you at your wits' end? 10 secrets to stop defiance and power struggles."

To view the flier for this FREE workshop, go to http://www.celebratecalm.com/ Then click on Schedule and scroll down to October 23.

Geneva High School is located at 416 McKinley Avenue, Geneva, Ill., only 35 easy miles from Woodstock on a Saturday morning.

I will guarantee you that you'll be glad you made the effort. Take your kids with you. They will get a lot out of it, too, and their questions might surprise you.

I've known Kirk and Casey about three years, and I highly recommend their programs!
