Ages 3 and under are free! The event is always fun and the food is good. The Cub Scouts are great hosts--your coffee cup will never be empty!
Kidz Express needs volunteers
Grace teens travel to the Austin community on Tuesday evenings to work with low-income, at-risk children age 5 to 12, as part of the Kidz Express program. Volunteers spend an hour helping the children with their homework, reading books together, or playing educational games. There are far more children than tutors, so the Grace group is looking for more volunteers, adults as well as teens. Contact Tim Dull for more information (312-952-0571; tcdull@gmail.com).
