Neighborhood Networks Project

NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK PROJECT
By Carolyne Brown, Nicole White

During the months of June and July, the Neighborhood Network Project has had great successes.  Carl Woolfolk has been one of those success stories.  Since starting with Neighborhood Network, Carl has learned how to navigate the Internet, attach documents and pictures to emails, and has also learned how to look up old and new friends and relatives.  Great work Carl and as always keep up the amazing work!  We have also had many people come in and make use of our resume software to get their resumes together and look for jobs.  A good resume is a great way to promote yourself to any employer, so stop on in and let us help.

We have also hired two new staff members.  John Adkins Jr. and Bonnie Rankin started on July 7th and have been a great help.  John filled the position of Office Assistant and also helps out with classes.  Bonnie has filled the position as Custodian and is also a great help with the kids!

The children's programs have also been expanding.  The kids have been learning how to give back to people around the world by using the computer.  Freerice.com is United Nations run website to help end world hunger.  For every correct definition, 20 grains of rice are given to those who need it in starving areas of the world.  The children enjoy knowing that they are helping hungry people around the world with just the click of a mouse.  They have also been learning about the world of science.  We have made putty and learned about polymers and have also built our very own volcanoes! 

Assortments of different classes are being given at the Center.  Basic computer skills classes are our number one class at the moment, but we offer a wide variety of different tutorial style classes.  Among these are digital photography, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft word, and as always How to use the Internet.  Stop by and check us out.  Our address is 1637 8th Avenue.  If you have any questions feel free to call the Center at (304)399-1046. We would love to see or hear from you, so come on by!
