This past Thursday at Communion an Advanced Learning Center Life Skills Certificate was awarded to Mr. Dennis Winters.  Dennis spent 60 hours researching Remote Controlled Aircraft, he wrote a 10 page paper, and did a 10 minute presentation about Remote Controlled Aircraft.

Congratulations Dennis!

On December 8 and/or 9 I will have a gentleman in the program taking the last two parts of his GED exam.  He has already passed three of the five parts necessary.  Please keep this gentleman in your prayers for successful passage of his GED.

Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving to All

This coming Thursday at Communion I will be recognizing Students of the Month for the In-Step, Women's and Men's Programs

2 men will be receiving Learning Center Certificates.  This means these men, during the time they have been meeting the requirements for recovery, have shown significant improvement in Math and Reading skills, have completed a resume and cover letter and/or have studied subjects such as science, history, religion, or geography.

Two women and four men will be receiving their Learning Center Life Skills Certificates.  One of the women receiving her Life Skills Certificate will be the first in our In-Step Program to accomplish successfully the following requirements:  Programmers are required to improve their math, reading, and writing skills, complete a budget course and quiz, become proficient in typing, research a career after having their career assessments interpreted, and study a minimum of 5 different subjects totaling 50 hours.

Congratulations!!!!!

I am in need of volunteers to assist me in helping these men and women reach their potential.  If you would like to be a part of this life-changing  experience please contact me at 530-242-5920 or e-mail me at lswanson@gnrm.org.
