NICMA WEEK 2009
THANK YOU to all who took part in the various events which were held
around the province to celebrate NICMA Week this year. This provided an
excellent opportunity to promote registered childminding and NICMA services.
Pictures are currently being collated and will be displayed on the NICMA
website under the ‘News’ section.
We also plan to put together a display of NICMA Week photographs for the
AGM / Conference in October. If you have any photographs of events or
activities which were held in your area and would like these to be included in
the display, please forward them to Jenny Adair or Lyn Bradley in the NICMA
office before the end of June. We look forward to hearing from you.
