Spotlight

Our annual chat-a-thon will take place online in the FORCE chat-room, January 29 - 31, 2009.

We coined the term "chat-a-thon" to describe an online awareness-raising event similar to a walkathon. It's a fun way for members to share experiences, learn more about FORCE resources and programs, and support FORCE.
