One Child at a Time
When 6-year-old Samuel first attended his Communities In Schools after-school program, Director Cheryl Britt, recalls that he struggled to stay on task. “Samuel couldn’t stay in his seat long enough to complete a simple project.” After speaking with his mom, Cheryl learned that Samuel had recently lost his brother in a traffic accident, and was struggling to focus in school. Cheryl paired Samuel with Jacob, a mentoring volunteer. Jacob worked one-on-one with Samuel to help him complete his projects, stay on task, and engage with other students. "To see Jacob's patience with Samuel is amazing," says Cheryl. Jacob says he enjoys working with Samuel, and, “can definitely see a change. He interacts better with his peers and is able to stay focused on his work."

THE BELINGHAM COUNTRY CLUB.

MARCH 27TH, 6:00

 The evening will be a unique opportunity to wine, dine and  entertained at the Bellingham Country Club; with a chance to learn about and contribute to the work of CIS and it's partners in Whatcom County. We'll start the night with a social cocktail hour with silent auction; then dinner at 7:30 along with live auction. After you enjoy the Best in the NorthWest Dessert Dash we will begin the highlight of the evening, a presentation of improvisational skills performed by students and mainstage players from the Upfront Theater. The students have been studying under the tutelage of members of the Upfront Theater since November, and this production is their chance to showcase what they have learned. Last year's group coined the "Facebook This!" Players put on a fantastic show. We are eagerly awaiting what this year's improv acting troop will call themselves.

Our master of ceremonies for the evening will be Drew Graham, with sidekick Ryan Fredrickson.

 During the social hour you'll have a chance to bid (silent auction) on a wide variety of  gift packages, getaways and evenings out, generously donated from our sponsors and friends of our agency. Items will be available for preview starting in mid January on this site.
  
We welcome everyone in the community, but be sure to purchase your tickets soon as the seats are limited and will fill up quickly.
