David Smith, Chairman of the Early Care & Education Work Group to speak

David Smith, Chairman of the ECEWG will be addressing the Noon Rotary Club this week.  In 2015, the Archuleta County Commissioners and the Town Council of Pagosa Springs jointly agreed with the finding from the Rural Philanthropy Days that the lack of early childhood care and education was a major roadblock to the future development and vitality of Pagosa Springs.  The Early Care and Education Work Group (ECEWG) was created with the specific task of researching the needs and providing recommendation to the Town and County for potential solutions to these needs.  ECEWG's coordinator Jan Santopietro addressed the group's sponsors last week, but if you missed that presentation, This Thursday will be your opportunity to hear from David Smith, the group's Chairman, about their findings and recommendations to date.  You are welcome to join us at the Pagosa Springs Rotary meeting on Thursday, November 3rd, to hear this presentation about one of the most significant issues of the community.
