Access and Success for Adults (ASA) and “Your Place” for the Adult Learner Program are celebrating their first year at the Adams/Brown Community Action Program (ABCAP) Building in Georgetown and are thankful for the funding made available from United Way of Greater Cincinnati – Eastern area and General Electric’s Community Service Agency to instruct the “Your Place” for the Adult Learner class and to help make a difference for the area residents.

Your Place facilitator Patty Short provides essential training by assisting individuals-in-transition in achieving their goals of attaining education and/or employment for the betterment of their families and society as a whole. Various speakers from the area agencies, businesses, and colleges share resources with participants.

If you would like to explore career options, colleges, or your strengths and values, this is a great place to begin.

Gayle Davis, The Lady with the Hattitude, brings the lessons of life home by teaching the ABCs:  Attitude, Belief system, and Choices.  She has
volunteered as a motivational speaker for the classes since 1990.

Individuals were presented with a Certificate of Completion which included; Kimberly Roush of Georgetown; Mary F. Young of Sardinia; Sandra Tungate of Georgetown; Patricia Eyre of Sardinia; Peggy Berry of Williamsburg; Linda Belcher, Practicum Student of Bethel; and Patty Short, Facilitator/Office
Manager of Sardinia.

The next class will be offered at the ABCAP Building in Georgetown beginning Oct. 31 and ending Dec. 7, 2011. The 6-week class will operate on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Should a participant decide to continue in higher education at Chatfield College, located in Brown County, and complete the requirements, three-college semester hours will be awarded toward electives in obtaining their college degree.

If you or someone you know that would benefit from a class that will help with transitional, college, and workplace skills, contact Patty Short or Sue
Evans. To register for a class or for further information, call (937) 378-3564 or e-mail Patty at pshort58@gmail.com.[[In-content Ad]]
