End of Pilot

Hello everyone!
This past quarter has flown by! We have absolutely LOVED working as your Vroom pilot coordinators, and we are so excited to see you all continue to share Vroom on your own. If you have not told us what your material wishes are for the end of the pilot, just send us an email. We will also be looking for your quarter four data: April and May. If you have projected numbers for June, you can include them in quarter four too. Thank you all for your hard work sharing Vroom!

Vroom at COC-OAEYC

Look for Vroom, and us, this Friday at COC-OAEYC! Hope to see you there. 

Vroom at the High Desert Museum

Thank you to everyone who played a part in this AMAZING event! We had a great time sharing Vroom and several community resources! There were approximately 250 attendees, and everyone left with a smile on their face. We could not have asked for a better night to celebrate Vroom! As three little boys at the event said, "BEST. DAY. EVER!"

Stories of Impact

Hello Wonderful Messengers!

First, thank you all so much for giving us your data on quarter two! It truly shows the passion each of you have for supporting the families you serve.

As we start the mid-term evaluation of our pilot project, we will be in search of some "impact stories". In other words, we are on a hunt for families and parents who have been positively effected by Vroom!

If you know any parent, caregiver, or family that wouldn't mind sharing their story, and explaining how Vroom has impacted them, please email Kim or I.

Anytime, Anywhere!

Vroom can be incorporated into daily life seamlessly! This Vroom Tip can be done anywhere, but we think it would be great in your agency to show parents how manageable Vroom activities truly are.
