Summer in full swing

Summer is really in full swing at our CHS-Parkersburg site. The summer program is going fantastic; with Lisa Weaver and her hard working crew, helping a busy band of neighborhood young people have an enjoyable summer and engage in some remedial learning and enrichment activities. Some very creative activities are going on! The four youth in the summer work program are really contributing to the success of the summer program. Laurie, working with a Department of Education grant to provide enrichment and remedial academic work for the students at the Gustke Shelter is also providing a very busy and intriguing array of activities. All the other programs are providing steady quality service to many area children and families.
We are getting ready for a parking lot sale this Friday; a yard sale type event, with some food for sale, too.
Next Thursday is a music night; an event of our Americana Music Tribute Series here as a coffee house setting; a Woody Guthrie tribute featuring three local musicians. This will also be the drawing night for the raffle that has been going on for a three night trip to Nashville for two, to attend the Americana Music Association awards and festival. This is a prize package worth over $1000 for a $20 chance. There is still time to enter the contest!
