From the Director,
Kari Gorr
With every year, I become increasingly
excited for the arrival of fall. Recently, I’ve
discovered that fellow autumn-lovers have
begun crea ng fall “bucket lists.” Popular
ac vi es o en seen on these lists include a
trip to the apple orchard or pumpkin patch,
crea ng fall cra s, and making and tas ng
fall-themed recipes and treats. Has ngs Community Educa on can
help you create your fall bucket list with our upcoming classes for all
members of your family to enjoy. Here are just a few ideas to include
on your list:
· 30-Day Whole Food Clean Ea ng Challenge
· 12 Quick & Easy Ways to Style Your Daughter’s Hair for Busy Parents
· Historic Cemetery Walking Tour
· Mastering the Scone in the Kitchen of the LeDuc Historic Estate
We hope you’ll join us this fall for any of our great offerings!
Happy Harvest!

Love and Discipline NEW Ann Makena Daggett
Discipline is important for maximizing your child’s poten al and be er rela onship
with parent/s and others. Love and Discipline go hand in hand together. Discipline for
correc on is done out of love. When a child is not raised with appropriate behavior to fit
the society, they end up suffering the effects of that no ma er how much we believe we
love them. Self-Discipline is training your child to consciously make choices that benefit
them even when the choices are not desirable now. How can we go about bringing out
