The Foster Roster is the monthly newsletter created by the Utah Foster Care Foundation to share resources, upcoming events and trainings, recognitions, policy updates, legislative decisions and even contests. It is one way Utah has found to keep foster parents connected with each others' successes, interests and challenges. Beginning in July 2009 it became an every-other-month mailed publication (on the even-numbered months) and an online updated version on odd-numbered months. It is only mailed to currently LICENSED foster homes.
There are five regions in Utah (Northern, Salt Lake Valley, Western, Eastern and South Western); each region develops it's own six pages (well, three pages front and back) and then the state news is added to the end of that, two pages front and back. It is always mailed out on purple paper (the signature color of the UFCF); so it is easily recognizable when it's delivered.
This publication is really the baby of the Retention department of the UFCF; although the regional trainers have a significant responsibility. It is always available online for anyone to see, located at www.utahfostercare.org just click on the purple Foster Roster button.
I received my first copy today, as a licensed foster parent...I read it from cover to cover! :)
