Meeting room survey...

Does your organization have space they are willing to share at a low cost or no cost to local non-profits for their board meetings, planning sessions or trainings? We are creating a document which gathers this information into one place for our community. Please share the following information with our intern, Addison Edge at [email protected] by June 15th:

• Any meeting space that you offer with approximate square footage
• Attendee capacity
• Any equipment available for use: tables and chairs, AV equipment, kitchen, wi-fi?
• Costs associated with using the space (rental fees, cleaning fees, etc.)
• Times and days of availability
• Contact person with email and phone number to reserve the space

Thank you for your generosity to these organizations and for participating in the survey!

Puzzle Pieces is doing tremendous work for caregivers!

Kentucky caregivers — this is for YOU!

Puzzle Pieces is proud to partner with The More Than Project to bring the Care for the Caregiver Retreat 2026 to Owensboro! Hosted by Kate Swenson of Finding Cooper's Voice and Amanda DeLuca of Advocate.Out.Loud, this powerful weekend is designed to pour back into those who give so much every day.

We’re also excited to welcome Tanner and Nicci Smith from Love on the Spectrum, who will bring a heartfelt and inspiring perspective rooted in advocacy, family, and inclusion.

While we are not presenting this conference, we deeply believe in the importance of meaningful opportunities for caregivers to connect, be encouraged, and be supported. We’re honored to help bring this experience to our community and excited for caregivers from across the country to experience Owensboro and all it has to offer.

This retreat is all about rest, connection, encouragement, and community — with inspiring speakers, meaningful conversations, and space to simply breathe and be cared for.
