Health Promotion
Center Louie's Place English as a Special Language tutoring is available once a week on Monday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. This is an all volunteer program. Tutors meet with students individually or in small groups to improve their speaking, reading and writing or to pass their citizenship tests. Materials and expert advise are available to volunteers willing to assist neighbors in this area. Sewing classes are held once a week on Friday mornings from 9:00 a.m to about noon. Neighbors learn the basics of sewing, beginning with making a pin cushion and a pencil holder. Using donated sewing machines, fabric and notions, they learn to make clothing for themselves or their children or even useful quilts. At noon, participants gather to share pizza in the kitchen. Cooking and Nutrition classes are offered periodically in cooperation with Operation Frontline. |
