We had a great summer, filled with performances around our Central Bucks community.  We performed at events in Buckingham Township parks, we were featured at First Friday Doylestown in both July and August- special thanks to IQnection, the Central Bucks Family YMCA.

We provided music and said goodbye to our good friends at Borders Bookstore and Café which was a wonderful venue for us.  We were back at our great supporter, Chubbys Ice Cream in Plumsteadville where we provided entertainment during their famous ice cream cookie sandwich nights! We continued with our monthly music nights at Saxbys through the summer months, and we added a new partner in Jules Thin Crust Pizza, where we played on their outdoor seating area. We were back at the Market at DelVal for their Peach Festival on a sweltering hot summer day, but our teens were professionals in how they dealt with the steamy weather!

The audiences and businesses in our community who have     supported our performers have been terrific, and we look        forward to this year’s events!

PARENT RAP

Beginning last year, we took CB Cares’ Parent Rap program “on the road” to our local schools.  We felt that it would be easier for Home and School Associations and Parent Councils to choose the date and time for interested parents. We will continue this approach this   coming year, where we will bring professionals to you to answer your parenting questions. The format is an informal discussion, not a presentation, facilitated by these professionals, with a give and take between parents who contribute valuable insights from their own experiences. If you would like to have a Parent Rap at your school, speak to your 40 Assets Parent Ambassador, Home and School President, or Principal about your interest.

Open discussion

Your School

CB CARES PROMOTES FAMILY DINNERS

Join CB Cares as we promote Family Day-A Day to Eat
Dinner with Your Children. Family Day -  is a national
movement that reminds parents that what their kids
really want at the dinner table is THEM!

The National Center on Addiction and Substance
Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University launched
Family Day in 2001 after its research consistently
found that the more often kids eat dinner with
their families, the less likely they are to
smoke, drink or use drugs.
