HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!  January 2014 Newsletter

Let it Grow

Picture
Celebrate the arts with us Friday evening as we kick off January's artist exhibit.  Jan has been a friend of CREATE from the beginning.  Let's fill the space with art lovers.

My thing is art, my love is nature. Come join the artsy fartsy fun of my second art show opening. Wine, food, and more food.


Our Volunteers are the best!!!

Picture
You may have noticed that the cafe has been open more often.  We owe this to our gracious volunteers.  Typically, we open 3pm-5pm with the help of high school students and 6pm-8pm compliments of our board along with a handful of community members. If you'd like to explore our hours weekly, you can find them on line or look for the printed copy posted at the cafe.


Western PA CARES for Kids Project

Picture
We've decided to kick off the New Year by hosting a fundraiser to support a local organization providing a vital service to Jefferson and surrounding counties. Starting Monday, January 6th, stop in the cafe and donate any amount over $1, sign your name to a children caricature and we will proudly display these playful children in our front window for the month.

A Child Advocacy Center is  where children who have said they were either physically or sexually abused or children who were witnesses to violent crime, come and are interviewed once by a trained forensic interviewer with nationally accredited  training,  while the investigative team ( law enforcement,  prosecution, child protection, mental health personnel, medical personnel, victim/witness advocates, probation officers etc.) watch the interview on a monitor eliminating the need for each member of the team to do a separate interview with the child. This helps to lessen the trauma a child experiences by eliminating the repetitive interviews so that the child isn’t reliving the experience over and over again.  The investigative team works together making team decisions about the investigation, treatment, management, and prosecution of child abuse cases.  The facility is designed to be child friendly to help the child feel more at ease.  Referrals for interviews are made through either the police or child protective services.


Jefferson County Recycling Program Awareness

Picture
We have teamed up with the Jefferson County Recycling Program to help spread awareness.  We realize the importance of such a program and are taking a few steps to encourage community members to become educated and get involved.

  • Please take a moment to check out the on line presence to  find the site closest to you, understand the basics, take a survey and consider a small donation.


    Join us Saturday, January 11 @ 10am for a short workshop on the local recycling scene.  Great time to start taking advantage of the program.


After School Tutoring Program
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3pm-5pm

Picture
Can your children use a little extra help with their school work?  Thanks to a handful of thoughtful volunteers, we are offering the cafe as an after school learning center to help shape the young minds within our community.

Would you like to  help?  Let us know.
