The Union Mills Learning Center was awarded a grant for education-oriented charities from the Webkinz Foundation (see link http://www.webkinzfoundation.org/grants_sug.html). The funds will go toward underwriting the Center's Kids' Computer Corner. This program is free to the public and is geared toward children pre-school to 3rd grade who may not have access to a computer or the Internet at home. The Center's Computer Lab computers have been upgraded by City Computer of Forest City (http://www.citycompserv.com/index.php), with donated software and manpower. The computers all have educational software and the Kids' Computer Corner features adult-supervised access to Internet learning tools. The Kids' Computer Corner will be open every Saturday, 10 AM to 12 Noon. For more information call 828-287-2191 or visit the Center's website (unionmillslearningcenter.org) or become a fan on Facebook.
