Quilt Show Fundraiser this weekend!!

For many people when they think of Mennonites, they think of quilts!!  Come see some of these beautiful, handmade works of art, many of them made in Toledo!

TMC Tutoring is a free tutoring program for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders who are at risk of failing in reading or math.  We are able to provide this free after school program to our neighborhood because of the financial support of generous donors such as the Reynolds Corners Rotary Foundation and the congregation of Toledo Mennonite Church. But we also need additional financial support!

The annual quilt show is our main fundraiser for tutoring.  Not only is this a great way to give to the children in our neighborhood, it is a wonderful cultural event!!  See over 30 handmade quilts on display!!  Purchase crafts, fabrics, books, and bake sale items.  Come Friday evening at 6:30pm for the coffee-house style concert and meal (suggested donation for admission: $20).

We hope to see you there!

What is TMC Tutoring?

TMC Tutoring is a ministry of Toledo Mennonite Church.

We provide one-on-one tutoring focused on homework completion and reading enrichment (also math) for first, second, and third graders who attend McTigue Elementary School and Hawkins Elementary School. All our students are referred to us by their teachers as struggling in reading or math.

If you have a child attending one of these schools who is struggling, talk to your teacher or the secretary at the school office for more information and for a registration packet. Or, call us at the program directly! The church office phone number is 419-536-1251.

We would love to answer any questions you might have!

TMC Tutoring

The 2011-2012 school year will be TMC Tutoring's eleventh year of operation!! And my second year as program director. I am very excited about new opportunities this year - especially the opportunity to serve students from McTigue Elementary School (formerly McTigue Middle School, now a K-8 school), our next door neighbor!

Our anticipated start date for this year is Monday, October 3rd.

We will operate from 3:30 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday except on days TPS students do not go to school (for example, holidays and snow days), until May 24th.

We are recruiting tutors and other volunteers! Interested? Contact me (Scott Coulter) at the church office: 419-536-1251, or email me: scott[dot]k[dot]coulter[at]gmail[dot]com.  (Replace the [dot]s and [at] with appropriate characters).
