Horay, Our First Annual Family Fun Day!

Crafts, Cooking, Bouncy House, & a Water Slide were just a few of our many fun activities at Family Fun Day, on June 16th. We had a blast with all of our students and their children and really appreciate Mrs Connie for all her hard work on this event. Miss Kelly cooked the Hamburger & Hot dogs while Mrs Connie got the kids occupied in the kitchen, creating a fruit pizza. There were crafts for all ages and games to play. We started the day with a devotion about Creation has to have a Creator, and ended with full bellies and sleepy babies. It was a true pleasure to meet the children of these mothers we have come to know and love.

June is Cooking!

 The Empowerment Center is heading into the new month of June with flavor. We are continuing to offer our Nutrition and Cooking class with Miss Connie and have linked with the UK County Extension office this month with a few more nutritional and cooking classes. The Center's staff and students love Mondays because of the good food we are served at lunch and with luck-- left overs for a few days. Some of the foods on the menu this month have been: Lasagna, Salmon Patties, Chocolate covered strawberries, Squash casserole, and more. The County Extension office has served the students with a class about skewing on the Barbecue. What a great idea for getting those fruits, vegetables, and meats in for a healthy intake. A big thanks to all who are making this month happen at the Empowerment Center.
