This year there will be a “Rest Stop” for families with special needs at the Naval Station Great Lakes 4th of July Celebration. The Rest Stop is designed as a place to get out of the sun, take meds, get info and connect with other Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) families.
The public is invited to the annual celebration that features a craft show, a carnival, a 5K run, fireworks, bingo and more. The website has a detailed description and directions and an FAQ. Check out the Facebook page as well.
“This is the first year that EFMP will have a tent for families with Special Needs.”, said Sally Tilli, Program Liaison. “We are hoping that more families will be able to attend because of this support service. And we’re expecting a really good time!”.
