Parents & Pals was started over 20 years ago by a young mom concerned about the lack of resources in Central Linn County for families with young children. Today the "Pals" enjoy a regular weekly Story Time at the Brownsville Library and then it's off to the Brownsville Rec Center for play time while the Parents enjoy meeting with each other and sharing child raising tips. "Conversations" are scheduled with local professionals to provide medical/dental information, infant/child CPR training, field trips to the fire station and other "Pal" raising information.
