When Wellington Cub Scout Pack 125 held its annual Pinewood Derby at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church February 4th, they invited a special guest to participate. For the third consecutive year, Wellington Mayor Darell Bowen stepped up to the challenge of competing against the pack’s leaders. Bowen did place fourth in several of the derby heats, but his spirit never waned. “The Cub Scout Pinewood Derby represents what Wellington is all about,” Bowen said. “The fun atmosphere and all families participating together are why I really love being here each year.”

Family Literacy is a four (4) component program – Adult Education, Early Childhood Education, Parenting, and PACT (Parents and Children Together) Time. Through these 4 components, we educate a parent, prepare a young child for school, and establish the home as a learning place.

S.B.

Parent involvement is the key to a child’s success in school.  When a parent is able to read, write and speak English and values education then success begins at home. Our organization is requesting your support in accomplishing this goal.

Please come and join World War II veteran Corporal Burt Richards founder of the Veterans Speakers Forum for an exciting look at the Tuskegee Airman @ The Lake Worth Public Library. The Tuskegee Airman were the first African Americans to serve with the Army Air Force in World War II. They were a group of courageous fighter pilots and crew who served in the European Theater protecting bomber groups by shooting down or destroying 260 German Aircraft in the air or on the ground at airfields. They not only fought the Germans in the skies of WWII, but also prejudice and the US Army for the right to serve their country.

 

Cpl. Burt Richards will be discussing the little known history of these heroes as well as showing a wonderful film with interviews of the actual airman who fought. “Never mind the Hollywood films. We have the real pilots, not actors.” Richards said.
