The end of July marked the end of our "express yourself" camps. On August 3rd, we gathered at the Made for Each Other Art Gallery on the near Eastside to celebrate another year of successful summer camps. If you did not get to make it the display will be up until the end of the month.
First of all as I Director I want to thank all of you who made it possible for us to have a successful summer. We were able to raise all the funds possible to conduct six different camp experiences. We had over 60 children attend our camps and 13 of those students were new to the LYN House. All of the students would tell you that they had a blast!
Now that the summer has come to an end we are ready to start a new year of tutoring. This year of tutoring is going to be extra special! Starting September 13th we will be welcoming Nicole Stephens as our new employee. Nicole is a Public Ally with Americorp and will spend 10 months with us as Program Coordinator. With the help of Nicole we will be able to offer our "express yourself" camps during fall and spring break and more enrichment experiences for teens. Nicole will also help us improve our adult programming.
We look forward to the start of a new season at LYN House. Please continue to follow this blog as we update it with events, stories, and all that is going on at LYN House. God Bless!
