Have you participated in any of these ?
no I haven't. If anyone has, I would love to hear about their experiences.
We've taken several classes at the CFEC and love it. We've taken the music class, some parenting workshops, and just started the art class. I can't say enough good things about it! Great place to hang out, have a coffee, and let the little ones play before and after class as well!
Thanks Schneiders. I don't have any kids so I see this stuff & wonder. There seems like a ton of stuff for kids & families in Northside with CFEC, Happen Inc., The Branch Library, MoBo, The Village Green, McKie Recreation Center and LaBoiteaux Woods, CAIN, the various churches including Covenant, which is working with the folks trying to build a Skateboard Park.
Now if they could just put the kibosh on the fagins.....
We know many families in Northside and they all love it.
That's the first I heard of the skate park initiative. Sounds like a good fit for N-side.
I came across your blog by accident tonight. My Google alert service directed me to it because you used a "stage of life" phrase in your piece. Normally I move on if the article doesn't pertain to my business but I actually took a moment to read your story and wanted to let you know that I think what you have going here is really commendable.
I wish you the best.
Have a wonderful summer,
Eric
P.s. We always welcome writers like you to our project if you're looking for a national venue to share your passion about your mission, esp. as it pertains to a stage of life moment(s).
