main office. Members Dawn Ward, Lillian Chace and Helene
Webster have volunteered to staff the newly created “Welcome Desk” 1-3
times weekly in the mornings from 9-11 a.m. The Welcome Desk was a brainstorm
of the Member Advisory Council members who felt that a personalized
approach by members to newcomers was a great way to welcome and encourage
others to utilize WCC. The
Volunteers will be greeting newcomers, answering questions, providing
information and written materials and encouraging others to take part in
WCC sponsored activities. If
you are interested in offering your time as a volunteer for this purpose,
please contact Barbara at (808)

At an early age, Franklin’s grandmother, the village healer in her native Vietnam, exposed Franklin to the universal connections between body, mind and spirit and taught him about the natural intelligence of the body. Franklin feels that ‘yoga mimics life” and by practicing one-to-two times weekly, great benefits are realized. His emphasis is always on safety so Franklin takes time to speak with each student prior to class to be mindful of individual needs and better customize his classes to create a positive progression for the students. “What makes a good teacher is someone who will be conscientious of each student’s perspectives, different levels of ability and who strives to create a level of comfort during the process so they go home happy – as long as I have enough, I want to give back and this is the best way for me to do it.” We think so too! Come join us every Tuesday – Yoga Basics!

CENTER Reading aloud to a child is one of the greatest gifts that
you can give a child. In this simple activity, readers not only connect
with a child, but they make words come alive and open the universe up the

child: ·

It improves listening
skills ·
It expands the child’s attention span
·
It stimulates brain
development ·
It builds vocabulary
·
It exposes the child to good
grammar ·
It builds confidence and self-esteem
·
It creates a bond between the child and the
reader ·
It helps teach values
·
It promotes higher critical thinking skills
·
It stimulates the child’s
imagination ·
It exposes the child to new experiences and
information.
If you’d like to volunteer to read to our keiki during their daily story
time during our “Read to Me” Campaign, please contact the Early Education
Center’s Program Director, Pamela Seelig, at 922-2098. Keiki’s ages range
from 7 weeks old thru 4/5 year olds. (Return to
