Early Childhood and Teen Conference
Every year, Child and Youth Pro-
grams (CYP) hosts an Early Child-
hood Conference. The goal is to
educate and enlighten individuals on
techniques and skills on how to better
communicate with our children. This
year CYP has again partnered with
other organizations on NAS Keflavik
- the Elementary and High School,
Fleet and Family Support Center, the
Hospital and many others - and made
a cooperative effort to bring you this
year’s 4th Annual Early Childhood
and Teen Conference. It takes many
people and volunteers to organize
such a big event and CYP is grateful
for all of the help they are receiving. Mrs. Jane Richardson, MWR’s Training Cur-
riculum Specialist, says “This is truly a reflection of how our community supports
and cares for our children.”
The theme for this year is “Partnering to Nurture Our Children”.
The conference is open to all and will begin at 8:30 am at the Elementary School
on Saturday, November 19. All attendees will meet and have time for coffee before
starting classes/workshops at 9 am. A light lunch will be provided by MWR and
during this break participants will have the pleasure to listen to our guest speaker
Mrs. Karen Karadimov, LICSW, MBA, Director of Fleet and Family Support Cen-
ter. Workshops will resume after lunch and will end at 2 pm. There are a total of 4
50-minute sessions that will be broken up throughout the day. Details on the pro-
gram can be found in the booklets located at the Elementaiy School, High School,
Youth Center, Child Development Center and at the Fleet and Family Support Cen-
ter. Registration forms are located in the booklets (last page) and can be filled out
and returned to the facilities by Wednesday, November 9. Booklets will be
available for pick-up starting Monday October 24.
This conference is open to all -parents, volunteers, teachers-interested in
making a difference in a child’s life. Through the classes and workshops
offered, you will learn how to strengthen your relationships with children
and help develop their social and emotional skills, you can learn simple Sign
Language, or even learn new methods on how to help children thrive in their
classroom and home environment. These are just a few topics that will be
covered during the conference. If you are interested, don’t hesitate to sign up
for this year’s Conference. This is one event you don’t want to miss. Help us
support and nurture your children!

Congratulations to the NAS Officer Spouses’ Club for being
selected as this year’s 1st place in the booth decoratin con-
test. The NASOSC theme was considered to be the most in
keeping with this year’s theme, “Fall.”
Congratulations are also in order for the NCTAMS LANT
First Class Petty Officer Association for 2nd place, and to
NAS Security who received 3rd place.
This year’s Fall Carnival was another big success. Hangar
885 was packed with people from 10 am until 4 pm at clos-
ing time. Children of all ages (including adults) had a great
time. There was a lot of good food, games, and rides for all
to enjoy.
MWR thanks all commands and organizations, and espe-
cially all volunteers that helped out with set-up, clean-up,
and tear-down.
