UCA has accepted a part-time contract with Austin ISD and TAP (The Austin Project) to develop and manage a Family Resource Center at Dobie Middle School (IH-35 & Rundberg). When it's operational, this center will help bring a laser beam focus on resources for families and create a productive alliance between the schoo...l and community.
But first, we need to physically create the space for this center. This will involve two steps: painting the walls and then, furnishing and decorating the center to be a warm, inviting environment for families. If you've been following my blog, you know that I've been talking about this project for some time, but now it's time to "pull the trigger." So, I'm inviting you to attend a meeting in the same portable (#3) where we'll be constructing the center. When you turn into the parking lot on the west side of the school, drive all the way down to the portables at the north end. Ours is the nearest one. We will meet from 7:00 p.m. and end at 8:30 with a plan of action to complete this center before Thanksgiving.
Please let me know if you're available to help by sending me an email at dsmith@urbanconnection.org. Then, let me know if you can attend this meeting, so I know how many chairs to set up. Whether you're a supporter of Urban Connection Austin or not, we need your help to make this center a reality and offer it as a gift of grace to this community from a group of local Christians that want to show the love of God.
Blessings,
Dean

Urban Connection Austin So, I thought there was an Austin church that was going to help us remodel a Family Resource Center, but they couldn't pull the trigger. Plan B - Gather a group of individuals that are willing to offer their time and money to do it. Drop me a line if you're one of those people. We need to get this done in the next few weeks. Thanks!
