THANK YOU!!
We are feeling the love!
CERSI was offered a matching grant of up to $5000 from two generous donors for anything we raised on site for the scholarship fund and you came through! From participating in Monte Con, Pie a Young Adult, the Scooter Races, the child care co-op selling apples, the youth coffeehouse refreshments, and just outright donations, we raised over $5000 for the scholarship fund. With the match, we have over $10,000 in the fund for 2027, which is a good start to rebuilding it.

|
Thank you so much for your generosity! And stay tuned, we are looking at fundraiser options such as an online service auction this fall.

Do You Have an Idea for a Workshop?
Do you have a great idea for a morning seminar for young adults and adult? Maybe your idea is better for afternoon workshops for everyone? Either way, we're interested in your ideas!
|
Morning seminars are classes designed for adults to learn a new skill, get creative, move and meditate or contemplate a deep topic in the company of others who share a similar interest. Details are on the Morning Seminar Proposal form.
Early-afternoon workshops tend to be intergenerational & open to all ages (though adult supervision may be required for younger children). Late-afternoon workshops tend to be more age-specific with child-care offered. Details are on the Afternoon Workshop Proposal form.
|
|
Please submit proposals for Morning Seminars and Afternoon Workshops by October 31, 2027. If you need more info before creating your proposal see our guidelines on the website.
