November / December Events!

Hello all!

I hope this message finds you well as the air turns cold and we anticipate snowfall. Please check out what we've got coming up at Woodlawn Youth Solutions below:

UPCOMING EVENTS AT WYS!
NOVEMBER / DECEMBER

Monday, November 17 -- Soup Making

We will be making pumpkin soup with the leftover pumpkin we froze after carving in October. Dorothy and Chris will help the youth of the program learn to make it for the next day's party.

Tuesday, November 18 -- Thanksgiving Party!

We will eat and serve the soup we made the day prior with bread and beverages. Community members welcome / volunteers needed!

Monday, November 24 / Tuesday, November 25 -- No activities planned

Chris will be in Minnesota for the holidays, so there are no events planned.

Monday, December 1 -- Nutrition Speaker

There will be a speaker on nutrition and healthy eating. We will be working with the food pyramid and doing coloring activities.

Tuesday, December 2 -- Food Pyramid Apron Making!

Everyone can design an apron to be kept at Christ Way for future cooking activities. We will use blank white aprons and decorate them with paint and markers, incorporating what we learned the day before about nutrition and the food pyramid. We are still seeking donations of inexpensive white re-usable cloth aprons and decoration materials such as permanent markers and puff paint... if you know of any resources for acquiring such items, please let me know. I'm following a few leads of my own. Community members welcome / volunteers needed!

Monday, December 8 -- Gingerbread Cookie Decorating

We will be decorating gingerbread people cookies in anticipation of the next day's party. Community members welcome / volunteers needed! Also, if you know of anyone interested in donating supplies for this, please let me know!

Tuesday, December 9 -- Holiday Party!

We will be eating gingerbread cookies, making hot cider and cocoa, singing carols with a musician from the community, and discussing the holidays. Please join us and, again, if you know of anyone interested in assisting or donating resources, please let me know!


Please note: There will be no WYS activities between December 9th and February 1st, as Chris will be at home for semester break and taking J-Term courses.

Again, we are always seeking resources and assistance with these projects, so please let me know if you are interested in helping in any way. We've appreciated your help with past events -- they wouldn't have been possible without you! -- and would love to see you involved again.

Many thanks, and warm wishes!
Chris
