Time: Thursday, November 1st, 2007 - 6 PM Eastern Daylight Time Presented by: Kathie Thomas Topic: Hidden Benefits Click Here to Attend Seminar

Our weekly seminar will feature Kathie Thomas, VATrainer and A Clayton’s Secretary, who will be presenting a seminar entitled “Hidden Benefits”.

Do you know where your children are and what they’re doing when they’re not with you? Imagine how difficult it must be for parents working fulltime and not having the input into their children’s lives? I watched my children’s friends go through challenges and trouble because they spent more time in the company of their peers, rather than their parents and was grateful my own children were able to come home to their mother every day after school.
