Regional Contacts

For information about events, playgroups, or connecting with other families in your area, contact the regional coordinator or prospective/waiting parent contact below. If your area does not have a regional coordinator, please contact a board member (see above).

Any member of FCC can plan an event! One of the benefits of membership is that our liability insurance policy covers FCC events, big or small (as long as events are open to all FCC members and not limited to a specific orphanage group, agency travel group, etc.). For information on how to help plan events, contact your regional coordinator (or a board member if your area does not have a coordinator).
