This Month’s Topic – How to Choose the Right Attorney for YOU

Join other single parents for encouragement and connection! This month, we’re going to change things up a little bit.  We want to hear your stories about how the legal process has been for you.  Was it easy or hard?  Fairly inexpensive, or ridiculously pricey?  Did you work with an attorney that you like, or did you feel that they did not look out for your best interests?

Let’s have a discussion and learn from each other!  Our Estate Planning Attorney, Lisa Sharp, will be with us to help answer some questions.  She used to be a Family Law Attorney, and she has a lot of great information.

This month’s Single Side UP! meeting is held at Chase Oaks Family Center.  Childcare is provided onsite as space is available for single parents attending the meeting.  REGISTRATION for childcare starts at 12:01am on the first of each month!  Childcare pre-registration is REQUIRED to ensure space for your child.

What is a Will?  How do wills work?  What big problems are left to my family if I pass away without a will?  The Settle Law Firm will be here to educate on the important documents you need to have in place (declarations of guardianship, a “living” will, medical power of attorney and more) to make sure you are in good shape!

Leave with some documents and/or valuable resources that will help put these important pieces in place for your family!  Jnana Settle, attorney, will hold a question/answer time at the end, too!

Childcare registration available:
Free childcare will be provided for kids ages 0 through 13 with a valid childcare registration on a first come, first serve basis!   Space is limited in all childcare rooms, so sign up early to ensure a spot.  If using childcare, please arrive a few minutes early so you can check-in your children before class starts at 2pm.

There is a “Refundable Reservation Fee” at the time of registration.  The reservation fee is $10 and will be refunded to you at check-in that evening.  If you cancel, your fee will not be returned.  Click HERE to register!

Oct. 9 – Growing a Kind and Thoughtful Child
Today’s children live in a world where they are bombarded with negative messages, many of which devalue respect for others.  To help children grow into responsible, caring adults, parents must be intentional in teaching children how to treat others with compassion, respect and thoughtfulness.  Children are taught responsibility when they help with chores at home.   But, volunteering together strengthens family bonds, enhances communication, and sends a message to your children that you’re a team!  Learn ideas and opportunities for how kids can serve at home and how your family can serve in our community.

Coming up!
Nov 13 – Have an Attitude of Gratitude

POWER HOURS are FREE to the community.   Water and Light Snacks Provided.   (We’ll send you home with additional resources on each particular parenting topic, too.)

Following each Power Hour, there will be FREE 30-minute Parent Coaching Sessions from 7:45-8:45 pm.   This Free Parent Coaching is ONLY available to parents who also attend that evening’s Power Hour from 6:30 – 7:30pm.    Click HERE to reserve your 30 minute coaching session for October 9th!

NTGD TSUFYou can help This Side UP! Family continue supporting families as they move from surviving to thriving by supporting us on
September 17th, North Texas Giving Day.

2020 has been a hard year for all of us.  Isolation, job loss, at home learning, tough health decisions, and the current political climate can make us feel like we’re farther apart than ever.   Everything has looked different this year, but there is one thing that’s still the same for everyone,  we all love our families.

Every dollar you give to This Side UP! Family goes directly into supporting ALL families with at home date nights, family connection nights, parenting education, and more.

We’re all learning new ways to be together and we at This Side UP! Family are so grateful to be going into our 10th year of celebrating and strengthening family.  Your donations will help us start 2021 strong with in person programming, new COVID protocols, more virtual resources, and all the tools we need to continue supporting what we all have in common- family.

Early giving starts on 9/1/2020 at 8:00 am and continues until September 16th at midnight!   If you’d rather wait to make your donation until North Texas Giving Day- You can give on 9/17/2020 from 6:00 am until 11:00 pm.
