Social Skills

 

Social Skills classes are THIS Saturday. It takes a village to raise our kids. It’s such a good feeling to offer these kids a place to feel accepted and to make friends. Family and friends help make us who we are. It’s so wonderful watching the kids welcome a new participant. It’s like they have been a part of the group since day one. Please email Becky if you are interested in a weekday afternoon social skills class or if you are interested in a class for K, 1st and 2nd graders. I have been toying with the idea of a 1-hour class for the K-2nd graders to include a little of each: Handwriting Without Tears, some Reading support and Math Support. It would all be hands-on. Just email Becky at beckyjc@kc.rr.com or call the Joshua Center 816-763-7605.

 

 

Imagine….

 

Can you imagine not having the Joshua Center? As the founder of this non-profit I have to work very hard to fundraise and write grants. I’ve been thinking…..let’s see if some of our families have ideas on how to help! Maybe you know about a Foundation, have a connection to corporate donations or know of a group who would like to help us. Don’t forget to check at your own work if they have a community giving program. Please contact Becky at beckyjc@kc.rr.com if you have any ideas. Maybe you would like to be an event chairman! As a non-profit organization we depend on individual and corporate donations and new ideas to support our cause. Let your friends and family know about us and encourage them to donate at www.joshuacenter.com or directly to the Joshua Center, 7611 State Line Road, Suite 142, KCMO 64114. Thanks to you all for keeping us a live! Now I’m really excited to hear your ideas.

SCRATCH-OFF CARDS make collecting FUN for 2008 Bowl-a-thon

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Joshua Center has Scratch-off cards to help you collect for the Bowl-a-thon on January 26th. Scratched amounts vary from $3 to $10. All you do is ask your friends, neighbors and family members to commit to at least one bowling ball before they scratch off their donation. This is fun and makes asking easy. Each card is worth $160 of donations for the Joshua Center. We will all have an incredible time at the great AMF College Lanes in Overland Park on January 26, 2008. Bowling is a sport anyone can participate in from ages of 1 - 100. Form your team TODAY ONLINE on the website, www.joshuacenter.com. This is a great opportunity to have all the campers return and renew friendships. Parents, grandparents and friends come together to have one GREAT afternoon and raise funds for the Joshua Center. THERE IS ONLY ROOM FOR 160 BOWLERS. EACH TEAM HAS 5 BOWLERS.
