At the 8th Annual Mini Golf Tournament at Hilltop Fun Center
Fifty-two players beat the rain and turned out on a recent Saturday morning to play a round robin game of miniature golf. Eighteen beautiful mums, generously donated by Tuttles went to the folks who got the first hole-in-one on each hole. Four "mini grand prizes" were awarded to the players with the two lowest and the two highest scores, and lots of fun prizes went to players of all ages and abilities. Wonderful raffle prizes from local businesses went to lucky winners.
Thanks to the board members who, showed up early and made it all happen like clockwork, to Hilltop Fun Center for opening early for us and providing a lovely course to play on and to the many sponsors, donors, volunteers and players who made the eighth annual Miniature Golf Tournament a huge success this year.
On August 17, Dover Adult Learning Center of Strafford County welcomed its fourth director in 38 years. Deanna Strand follows Jim Verschueren, who retired in June.
Deanna brings nearly ten years of experience in the field of adult learning and literacy to the Center, including experience in York County and in Rockingham County. She says she is "pleased that the board and staff of DALC have given me their trust and confidence, and thrilled to have the opportunity to join such an amazing group of dedicated individuals in serving the adult learners of Strafford County."
Paula Deplanche of the search committee says, "we believe Deanna will bring us to the ‘next level' of growth, as well as continue established successes as an educational facility that is focused on our mission of helping adults in the Strafford County area enhance their life-coping skills and improve their lives through basic education, job training, high school completion, and enrichment classes."
On behalf of the board of directors, president Don Nary expresses "confidence that the center will continue to grow and prosper, as it did with Jim, under our new executive director's leadership. It is with open arms that the center welcomes Deanna Strand as our new executive director."
This always-inspiring event was no disappointment this year. We honored 253 graduates, three essay contest winners read their very moving works, and the crowed filled the auditorium at Dover High School!
Our special guest this year was Debbie Tasker. Debbie served as Executive Director of the Adult Learning Center for 20 years, 1980 - 2000. She is now the GED administrator for the State. The Center's Board of Directors awarded her the Center's first ever honorary GED.
Dover Adult Learning Center of Strafford County helps adults in the Strafford County area enhance their life-coping skills and improve their lives through basic education, job training, high school completion, and enrichment classes. We help our students become more effective lifelong learners, family members, workers, and citizens.
