In December, CAFRA members attended the Directors’ Christmas Lunch. Thank you to Adine Shuchuk and Wendy Keiller for leading the group in The Brain Architecture Game, a game about the powerful role of relationships in early brain development. This was followed by delicious food from A Cappella Catering and time to relax and connect. Thanks also to Kristy Thomas for her organizing efforts and McKernan Baptist Church for allowing us to use their space for our event.
