The Departments of Social Services in Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot counties recently hosted an appreciation event for area foster parents at the Talbot County Agriculture and Education Center in Easton in honor of National Foster Care Awareness Month. The event was catered by Mission BBQ and included such activities as a DJ, glitter tattoos, bubbles, and prizes and drawings for the families in attendance. In addition, foster parents were recognized for their years of service.
“This is always a special event for our foster parents and their families, while also providing time for everyone to socially gather and share among the counties,” stated Paris Quillet, Special Projects Coordinator for the Talbot County Department of Social Services.
