FYI, for those of you who plan to attend the MCB Training Center's grand-reopening Open House on Monday, June 4, 1:00-4:00, here's the event schedule:



1:00-2:15     Tours given by MCB Training Center students including classroom demonstrations by students and instructors of alternative skills, tools, and techniques used by people who are blind or visually impaired.  Classes include wood shop, Braille, life skills, cooking, technology, and more.



2:30-3:00     Program including MCB Training Center student choir.  



3:00-3:45     Tours continue.



MCB Training Center students are busy preparing tasty refreshments and fun activities for visitors to enjoy throughout the afternoon.  It should be a great time for everyone who can be there!  If it's been a while since you've been to the Training Center, see the driving directions below my signature.
