Choppin' Veggies
Hello All,
First, I would like to greatly thank Kyle Johan for teaching the kiddo’s cooking last Thursday. He did terrific! Also to all the mentors and help that I had-you guys are the bomb! Thanks to Scot for hooking us up at the Center for this to happen.
It has been suggested to us by Susan, director at the Senior Center that if we have some kiddo’s that could come and help paint or even staff, that they are willing to work out a deal with us on the use of the venue. They were ever so kind to let us use the venue for free and for our program this is really helpful. It has 2 terrific kitchens and plenty of space!
Although it’s last minute, Susan is buying paint for the rooms today. She is asking that we have ANYONE come and paint after 4pm on Tues and Wed. We could use all the help we can get. This is a terrific opportunity and I strongly ENCOURAGE mentors if they are hanging out with their kids either of these days, to PLEASE take them over to paint for a few hours. Scot Zellmer, our mentor will be there those days and is trying to recruit all he can. Please help us make this happen! The more we have, the quicker it gets done. Please call Scot at 221-1404 or email him at his email (attached) to this email.
For kiddo’s that need community service, please use this as a opportunity for that.
The Senior Center is also changing it’s name and trying to get a larger varied crowd in there and this is why they are looking at getting as many kiddo’s involved in this project. They don’t want to be known just as the Senior Center, but a People’s Community Center. They will start showing independent films down there every Thursday to begin the opening of a crowd. We are hoping that our programs, especially CCM+, will being using and working with them more.
Thank you for your help and consideration. Please pass on to those interested.
Cheers,
