The tutors and their students spend many hours reviewing the 100 civics questions and preparing to demonstrate their use of the English Language by speaking, reading and writing. Check out www.uscis.gov and see how many questions you can answer!
After a brief summer hiatus, the tutoring program will begin on Saturday, Sept. 15, in the Spiritual Growth. Tutors and students will meet each week to improve their English skills and learn about our culture. One Saturday of each month will feature group activities including the following:
Saturday, Sept. 29 – “Getting Your Home Ready for Winter” with Ron Marien
Saturday, Oct. 27 – For adults: “Money Smarts” with Gina Rodriguez from La Casa de Esperanza; for children: “Using Money” with Stephanie Hansen, the Greater Waukesha Literacy Council.
Celebration of Literacy: The hard work of students Edwin Aparicio and Linda Wah and tutors Kathy Williams and Rick James are being honored at the Celebration of Literacy. (Special thanks to Sandy Eggers for also working with Edwin.)
The annual event is being held at Tuscan Hall on Sept. 5 beginning at 5 p.m. with cocktails, silent auction and dinner at 6:30 with a program honoring Edwin and Linda who were able to obtain citizenship this past year. What an honor to be recognized at this event by the Greater Waukesha Literacy Council. Tickets are still available.
Stop by and see us on Saturday mornings and see if this is a ministry you would like to join.
