Program Coordinator Ron Day explains that the purpose of the new S.O.S. series is to provide instruction in areas that might be helpful for supplementing family income. “If you can learn to make baskets, cater, grow better tomatoes, or paint, you might be able to parlay those skills into a second—or first!—income. There will also be workshops on marketing skills and products so that once you’d made something, you’ll better know how to sell it.” If you would like to schedule a display case for a one-month period, call Kathy at 248-4812 or Ron at 337-3422.
