This program will help daycare
providers realize why a two or three year old shakes his or her head
and shouts "no" when asked to do something. At this training daycare
providers will learn ways to meet this child's need for autonomy
during the "no" years. Daycare providers in attendance will receive
two hours of continuing education credit for daycare licensing
requirements. To register for the "When All You Hear is NO!"
Daycare Provider Training, please contact the Logan County Extension
Office at 732-8289 for a registration form. The deadline for
registration is Wednesday, March 11th.
The
Zonta Club will meet on Tuesday, March 10 at 6:15 p.m. at the
American Legion. Members should contact Judy Awe at 732-4758 before
7:30 a.m. on Monday, March 9, if they are unable to attend.
The
Illinois Sheriffs' Association will award more than $53,000 in
scholarships to full-time college students throughout the state who
wish to pursue a higher education during the 2009-2010 academic year
at an Illinois institution of higher learning. The scholarships are
to be applied to tuition, books and fees only.
Sheriff Steve Nichols of Logan County will award one $500
scholarship. Applications are available in his office, or online at
