2009 Provisional Super Saturday

The Provisional Class had an exceptional Super Saturday on January 24, 2009. We began our morning very early outside West Bradenton Baptist Church - enjoying bagels, donuts and coffee served from Rebecca Herrman’s SUV. Our first option was a children’s waiting room at the nearly-complete One-Stop Center to meet with Martha from the Community Coalition on Homelessness. Next, we visited the Bradenton Transition Center where they asked for a refurbished family meeting/reading room. We viewed two previous projects, the Children’s Academy of Southwest Florida, Inc. and Manatee Glens’ Adolescent Recovery Center – both still looking great! Then we finished our tour at the Manatee Safe Children’s Coalition where there were several spaces needing attention. With some great discussion and voting, the ladies knew their mission was clear: the Manatee Safe Children’s Coalition is the beneficiary of the 2009 Provisional Class Project. They have already begun planning, price-checking, and fundraising for this worthy cause. Be on the look-out for your invitation to their public Open House in April.


Provisional Projects

2008-2009 - Children's Academy Art Room
The Provisional Class had a mural painted, art easels, large tables for creating art work and a puppet theatre.  They filled the rooms with art books, art supplies and teacher books to inspire future projects. 
 
2005-2006 - Family Resource Center
The Provisional Class refurbished the therapy room, front lobby and client restroom. They cleaned, painted and decorated the three areas of Family Resource Center. New furniture for the therapy room was donated, decorative items were purchased and new therapy toys and books completed the newly Coastal themed therapy room. New blinds were purchased for the lobby and a play area was created for children visiting the center. The staff of the Family Resource Center was thrilled with the changes and assured the provisional class that their contributions would be enjoyed for years to come.
