Free summer programs for grandparents and grandchildren offered by Jewish Family Services

During the summer, when the kids are out of school, do you feel like your grandkids rule your roost? Jewish Family Services (JFS) has created a series of events that will allow you to meet other grandparents who care for their grandkids during the summer, and take this opportunity to get out of the house for a grand time!
