First, the Center is in desperate need of subs. “I need subs willing to work flexible hours anywhere from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.," said Osting.
“One additional need we have at the Center is the need for a sponsor for our 3-year-old classroom. For $500 a business, group, individual or organization can become sponsor for the classroom. During the school year the sponsorship provides the room with supplies,” She said.
