Summer has arrived and so has the time for Red Cross Swimming Lessons!  As in past years the Ada Learn To Swim Program is in need of aides to assist with the lessons.

Ages 12 and up, including adults are encourage to sign up to help others learn swimming
skills.  As little as an hour each day of lessons is helpful.  Lessons begin the week of July 7  for 2 weeks Monday through Friday each week.

Help is needed on deck for paperwork as well as in the water. You do not need to be a good swimmer to help others...we'll help you as well:)

With 8%–9% of young children suffering from speech disorders, May’s Better Hearing and Speech Month is the perfect time for parents to learn how to recognize the early signs of these disorders. I am encouraging parents to educate themselves through the Identify the Signs campaign, a national effort of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

The campaign is designed to combat an overall lack of awareness about communication disorders—a major barrier to treatment for the more than 40 million total Americans who suffer.
