Manawa C.A.R.E.S. meets Dec. 17

Manawa C.A.R.E.S. will meet at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17, at the Sturm Memorial Library.

The goal of Manawa C.A.R.E.S. (Community Actions and Resources to Engage Students) is to provide young people in Manawa with more opportunities to explore their individual pursuits and engage more fully in the community.

The mission statement of Manawa C.A.R.E.S. is Developing Today’s Youth into Tomorrow’s Leaders.

Manawa C.A.R.E.S. has 15 to 20 active members, but is always looking for more people who want to help young people in community wide efforts at making Manawa a better place to live.

The organization is interested in having church leaders, members of the Manawa Area Chamber of Commerce and homeschooling families involved as members or liaisons to the organization.

Projects being discussed are funding a student run anti-bullying program in the schools and bringing in special speakers for high school students. If anyone in the community has an idea for youth led programs they are welcome to bring their ideas to any of the meetings.

Manawa C.A.R.E.S. meets on the third Tuesday of each month at the same time and always at the library. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings.

If you cannot make the meetings but want to assist the organization, call Ellen Connor at the Sturm Memorial Library at 920-596-2252.
