Greetings!
Thanksgiving is almost here, and we want to remind you how thankful all of us are for your patronage and interest in Children's Technology Workshop Boston. We're able to continue doing what we love and bring creative technology programs to children throughout the area because you welcome us into your communities. It's our pleasure to work with you and your children; thank you for your support.

Leonid Tunik, Regional Director.
