Appy Time for Learning breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s Sat. morning, Oct. 21, 2017 8 to 10 a.m.

Appy Time for Learning breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s Sat. morning, Oct. 21, 2017 8 to 10 a.m.

Come out this morning to help support Carroll County NAACP member Patricia Mack-Preston’s “Appy Time for Learning” education initiative on Saturday, October 21, 2017 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

$9.00 per person - Children 8 and under - $4.50

At: Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar, 634 Baltimore Boulevard, Westminster, MD  21157

Our last Carroll County NAACP meeting September 28, 2019 began with a presentation by Patricia Mack-Preston on “Appy Time for Learning,” A nonprofit 501(C) (3) fund of The Community Foundation of Carroll County.

Patricia began her PowerPoint presentation by explaining that when she retired from teaching in Howard Co. in 2015, she wanted to put into practice Proverbs 16:3: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans.”

After she retired, she remained committed to teaching and education. Programmatically “Apply Time for Learning” emphasizes technology.

Appy Time consists of educators, parents, and community members who want to be part of the solution to the academic achievement gap present in today's educational institutions. “By volunteering our time and talents to help children close the learning gap, we are impacting the success of future generations.”

Please bring new or gently used books appropriate for children through second grade (birth through 7 years of age) to the breakfast and help bridge the achievement gap for young children.

Learn more about opportunities to help by checking out their website at Appy Time for Learning, emailing appytime@icloud.com or calling 410-876-4137. For more information on Appy Time, please go to: http://www.appytimeforlearning.com/index.html

“Appy Time for Learning,” A nonprofit 501(C) (3) is a fund of The Community Foundation of Carroll County.

Thank you in advance,

Film: Alice's Ordinary People at the Carroll Arts Center, Monday, October 16 at 7:00 pm.

Film: Alice's Ordinary People at the Carroll Arts Center, Monday, October 16 at 7:00 pm.

The documentary tells the story of Alice Tregay, a woman from Chicago who confronted injustice in her community by joining Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in marches for fair housing, desegregation in Chicago Public Schools

In Honor of National Work and Family Month, the Carroll County Public Library presents, in partnership with Carroll Citizens for Racial Equality, The Community Media Center of Carroll County and the NAACP Carroll County, will present a free screening of Alice's Ordinary People with filmmaker Craig Dudnick at the Carroll Arts Center, Monday, October 16 at 7:00 pm.

ABOUT THE FILM

Born in 1929, civil rights activist Alice Tregay was best known for fighting segregation in Chicago schools. She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King in the 1960s to improve educational opportunities for blacks. She directed local and national voter registration campaigns under Operation Breadbasket, which worked to improve job opportunities for African Americans. In the 1990s, she marched in Washington D.C. to demand that Congress and the White House create jobs.

She received many prestigious awards for her outstanding work in civil rights and community service, most notably one presented in March of 2004 by young Illinois State Senator Barack Obama, who would become the 44th President of the United States and the first African American to hold that office.

The screening will take place at the Carroll County Arts Center, 91 West Main Street, Westminster, MD. A Celebrating America program.
