Jeopardy

Monday, October 10, 2022
11:00 am12:00 pm

A fun quiz competition that reverses the traditional question-and-answer format of many quiz shows. Rather than being given questions, contestants are instead given general knowledge clues in the form of answers and they must identify the person, place, thing, or idea that the clue describes, phrasing each response in the form of a question.

Strengthening Families (youth ages 6-11)

This cycle of Strengthening Families is for families with children between the ages of 6 and 11. This program is offered in English and Spanish. Registration is required!

Many parents have found that this program has helped them to connect with other parents, understand their youth more, and communicate better as a family. Many of the youth have found that this program helped them to resist peer pressure, taught them about drugs and alcohol, and helped their families connect.

It really is a great opportunity for families. The only requirement is that the family has a child between the ages of 10 and 14. When families graduate from the program, they receive a $100 gift card. Each week the families receive a free dinner on a different night of the program.

Families begin the program by eating dinner together. After dinner, the families break up into three groups: parents, youth, and babysitting where parenting skills and life skills are taught. Some of these topics include: parents - Love and Limits, making rules, consequences, and protecting against substance abuse and youth – speaking, listening and staying out of trouble. The families then come together and do family bonding games and activities around these topics.

**Babysitting and transportation provided if necessary**

Dreamcatcher

Friday, October 14, 2022
1:00 pm2:00 pm

Dream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.
