Garden Club

Our goal is to educate and bring delight in organic gardening with projects they start themselves and take home.  This club will have the opportunity to see the entire process take place: seed –dirt –plant- fruit/vegetable-harvest –cook-indulge and contribute to community helpers.  Our goal is to get a well established garden and sell the produce to the community as well.

Dances

Come and shake your groove thing!  Hannah & Friends hosts two dances a month.  One for each age group: 15 & under and 16 and older. Each dance is two hours long and includes all of the favorites.


Parent Meetings

Each month Maura Weis gathers with other parents in Michiana, and they share their story with the group.  The group meets the third Tuesday of each month.
