Operation One Family is a unique weekend of bonding, life skills workshops, information, inspiration, and good old fashioned fun. Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California is hosting the families in dorm units with private bathrooms, and providing the meeting venues on campus. The 2009 schedule of events is as follows:
