Springtime for a Board Member



Well, Yesterday I was in training for work. This woman was instructing us Career Development Caseworkers to ask open ended questions about our client's lives so they would be more willing to attend the Earn Center. It was interesting since she was encouraging us not to use DPW jargon to motivate. There are to be big changes in our CDU procedures in June. After that I went past Parvin State Park to the Centerton Inn for a dinner for the Cumberland County School Board Assn. It was informative. The state is taking moves to emasculate local school boards. The news of a Superintendent taking a $740,000 severance package is an example some say that local school boards do not have control over spending.
Parvin State Park was beautiful. I had never been there. It is SO GREEN!! All this rainy cool weather is making this one of the greenest Springs I can remember. Carl's Artist get-together is tonite and I may here some interesting news.

This is May 20th. Any Questions???

It was a seemingly normal day in the life of this blogger, but you never can tell. Are we cooked? Can one run? and is it time to bolt? At least there is a brighter future for the 3rd Ward

Hello again. Yesterday was a day at the office trying to get a handle of the backlog of papers to file.
Of course there was the small matter of driving to work. Almost could not get out of philly since Penn was having their graduation.

RRCA NEWS




Attached is a picture from the unveiling of the Cedarville Peaceworks Mural that Kathy Gross created with the 21st Century students at that school. It is so beautiful and compelling that I truly believe it will bring contentment to many children and staff for years to come. It is filled with inspirational quotes from a variety of sources. Hope you get to see it in person which is truly the only way it can be appreciated to gain its full impact.
Another wonderful new development is Helen Clymer Studio in Residence Artist volunteering her time to provide a free 3rd Friday workshop for children visiting the center.

A Small Day

Sunday. Played a bit of tennis then continued the attempt to clean up the basement. I talked to my brother John. He is the tech person for 4 schools in the charter school district envisionschools.org in SanFrancisco.
The rain fell, but nothing elese did so it was not a bad day at all. Tomorrow I am taking my friend Pat to the Home Depot since his pond at home has a hole he needs tarp. I then have 2 school board meetings.
