This is from our PTSA newsletter and MCC . Feel free to pass this along. Our local school district is offering a lot of workshops for parents right now. This is from the local community college. You may have similar resources in your own community. Doing things you have in common with people who don't go to your church or taking a friend from church with you to activities in the community is a nice place to build relationships inside and outside your faith community.

From the newsletter (Rev. Margaret Scott, communications VP):

The internet is a wonderful place, full of endless amounts of information and resources. However, some people have used the internet to promote things we do not want our children to be exposed to. Homeland Security Management Institute of MCC is offering a course entitled “Cyber Skills to Protect Our Children”. Learn what certain phrases such as, MySpace, IM, blogging, just to name a few cyber words mean and how you can help protect children at home, school or wherever they may have access to a computer.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this important course or visit us at www.monroecc.edu/go/hsmiand click on classroom course. Hurry, seats are filling up quickly! Registration deadline is January 5, 2007.

If you know someone who might be interested, feel free to pass this along.
