· Why do you think this is the right audience?

· Format: face-to-face meetings (one or more?), online, phone, booklet, blog, newsletter, video?

· Why do you think this is the right format?

· What topics will you cover?  Why?

· What kinds of people can you enlist to help you make this program stronger?

· What kind of funding will you need?  Who might provide that funding?

· What do you think the strengths of your program will be?  What will the weaknesses be?

 PART B

Reflecting on elements presented in PART A of the assignment, create a brochure that highlights elements of what you have discussed in PART A and elements that will attract families to your program. This is your own family life education program. Share your vision for the program through the creation of a brochure that provides parents with an overview of what the program would entail. Review specific areas from PART A that you would want to include in the brochure to make it both informative and inviting for families.
