    Parent Suppers

Leave the kids at home and come unwind with the parents of other gifted children.  Share your experiences, learn a new strategy or two, and have a good laugh with others who understand.

With your help we would like to plan suppers all over Chicagoland!  The steps are:

  1. Pick a date and time that work for you.
  2. Select a restaurant.
  3. Contact us - we create a new event, spread the word, attending the dinner . . .
  4. Make a reservation and have fun!

If you are willing to plan a supper in your area, Let Us Know!
