Rockin’ Readers** The Rockin’ Readers program invites residents of VSB to Brooks Elementary School to read with students one-on-one. The program started because teachers were looking for ways to give students more opportunities to read aloud and extend the school into the community. What began as a reading fluency program has grown into so much more as senior citizens and students bridge the age gap with each visit. This is a school year-long program held one Monday a month from October 2019 through May 2020. Feel free to attend for just one month. Please sign up at the Concierge Desk.
St. Vincent de Paul Pick-up St. Vincent de Paul will be picking up gently used items. If you have items you would like to donate, please pick up a special donation
