The following resig- nations are effective as of January 25,2007: Joel Walker, Cathy Walker, Judy Zeleney, Robin Ferguson, Jerry Fer- guson & Darlene McCaw. We all have enjoyed our time as members, some of our greatest memories will be the preparatory for various activities, as well as the enthusi- asm of the participants, especially the children at each event. We all encourage new volunteers to support their community, bringing new energy and fresh idea’s to sup- port your local neighbourhood. South Marysburgh Recre- ation is your opportunity to generate projects and conduct activities you visualize for your neighbourhood.

Darlene McCaw, Secretary Loyalist College Prep Program Comes to The County Prince Edward Learning Centre is now partnering with Loy- alist College, and is offering a College Prep Program to adults in The County. PELC has a long history of helping adults achieve various educational goals, including preparing to enter college, but now they are doing it with the help of Loyalist College. “This is a very exciting partnership for us and for the people in The County who want to go on to higher education, but feel they just aren’t ready yet,” says Linda Conley, Execu- tive Director. “Adults are now able to attend the Loyalist College Prep Program in Picton. Once a person has success- fully completed the course, they will receive an ACE Certifi- cate, which is a college certificate. It is recognized as a Grade 12 equivalent in math and English by colleges and apprenticeship programs for the purposes of admission to a post secondary program. It is also gaining recognition with “Every week, we meet adults in Prince Edward who would like to go on to college, but lack the skills needed to succeed. Many are stuck in lower paying jobs and fear mak- ing the move to becoming a college student,” says Conley. “The wonderful thing about this program is by taking the College Prep Program, you become a Loyalist student study- ing in Picton. You will be given a student number and of- fered regular opportunities to meet with a college instructor. Once you successfully complete this program, you are guar- anteed entry into most Loyalist courses. It’s a truly great op- portunity for people. A college diploma or a chance to ap- prentice is life changing. That’s exciting.
