PASSAIC COUNTY FACE has been offered an opportunity to have a monthly workgroup meeting in Patterson NJ. This meeting site in northern New Jersey would make FACE a truly state-wide organization, but it would also present challenges. Until this meeting can operate independently, a facilitator will have to travel several hours each way on meeting days. FACE is willing to make the commitment and dedicate the resources, but before we accept this generous offer, we want to know there are people who would want to attend this meeting. If YOU are interested in attending a monthly FACE workgroup meeting in Patterson NJ, please email info@facenj.org . Give us your name, your location and your phone number, your meeting day preference (if any), and tell us if you were ever a member of FACE or any other similar organization. If there is sufficient response, we will notify you of the meeting date and location.
FACE IS ON THE MOVE!
WE NEED 2 NEW MEETING SITES NOW
For the convenience of members in central, and far-southern New Jersey and to respond to the needs of new members, FACE is now actively seeking two new workgroup meeting sites.
To accomodate members in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem counties, an ideal location would be somewhere in the vicinity of Vineland.
For members in central New Jersey, a location convenient to the NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and I-287 around New Brunswick, Edison or Metuchen would be ideal.
Workgroup meetings are confidential, so the meeting place needs to be private. What can you offer? Your dining room table or living room one evening a month? A conference room at your place of business? If you can make a six month commitment, phone FACE at 888-76 FACE 9 or email info@facenj.org .
A SPECIAL INVITATION TO WOMEN:
Although the name of the organization is Fathers' and Children's Equality, no one is unwelcome at FACE meetings because of gender. Women are and always have been important to FACE. More than 50% of the initial inquiries FACE receives are from women, and FACE provides its services to all non-custodial parents and their loved ones regardless of gender. Membership is not limited to men. About 25% of our members and supporters are women, including not only non-custodial mothers, but also grandmothers, second wives, girlfriends, daughters and all the others effected by separation from extended family members.
If you are a woman who reached out to FACE seeking help for a man in your life who is important to you, you are his moral support. We especially want you to attend FACE meetings with him and to continue to provide that support for him.
FACE MEETING RULES:
1. No alcoholic beverages or other controlled substances are allowed at any FACE activities. If you have consumed or are under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances, please do not attend.
2. Workgroup meetings are usually held at FACE members' private residences. Please be courteous to the hosts by phoning in advance to get directions and let them know you are coming. Workgroup meetings may be canceled if no calls have been received 24 hours prior to the meeting.
3. Every effort will be made to accommodate children at FACE meetings, but be aware that issues discussed may be inappropriate for children.

FACE IS A SELF-HELP GROUP. WE ARE NOT LAWYERS. WE DO NOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE. WE CAN NOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT ANYONE IN COURT. If you find a competent, capable lawyer who fully understands your and your children's rights, who is willing and able to tenaciously fight to secure those rights, who completely understands the facts in your case, and who you can afford to pay, you should hire that lawyer and seek that lawyer's advice. If you can not find or afford to pay such a lawyer, we urge you to seek all available resources to aid yourself in securing these rights.
