Acts of Kindness: Snowflakes for Sandy Hook

There are no words that need to be spoken about the Sandy Hook tragedy. They've all been said, and all of our hearts are broken a bit.

While nothing can erase what happened, we can try our best to move forward with small, meaningful acts of kindness. One easy, free thing you can do involves a little craftiness. The children of Sandy Hook Elementary are going to be using a temporary, vacant building for the time being, and it needs some decorating help!

Transform and turn their new school into a Winter Wonderland by making and sending paper snowflakes.  Come down to YA Central on Thursday, December 27th, from 1:30 PM till 2:30 PM and make snowflakes to send.  Can't make this date, then join the Teen Advisory Board on January 9th and make some more.  Earn 1 community service hour for your time.

Join us at the Movies!

Teens in grades 6 through 12, there are still openings left to join us for a private screening of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ( Rated PG - 13) at the Elwood Cinemas this Saturday, December 15th from 9:45 AM to 12 Noon.  Everyone who registers will receive a ticket which includes a small popcorn and drink.  Parental permission forms are required and are available at the Young Adult Desk.  Everyone must provide their own transportation to and from the theater.  Don't miss this one, sign up today! 

Thank You Teens Connect Volunteers!

Big thanks to the Teen volunteers who marched in the Greenlawn Civic Association's Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting.  A good time was had by all!
