 A note from the Director of Community Education:

Dear Families and Friends:
 
This will be the last Wylie Center newsletter that will come from me, because as of June 11, I am moving out of state.  In the future, the newsletter and other publications will be handled by Miss Silvia Arteaga, MBA student from La Sierra University, and Ms. Jacqueline Blanco, Parent Representative, will be taking on most of my other duties.
   
In 1990 I was a worried mom with a small daughter who needed extra help. The Wylie Center (then known as the Children's Center) was there for us with non-judgemental support for me and quality therapeutic preschool for her.  Since that time,  I have been privleged to be a parent,  volunteer, board member,  contractor, and finally, in 2002, I joined the staff. 
 
Over the years we have worked on lots of projects together.  You've helped me with everything from workshops and conferences to toy drives and petting zoos!  We've raised funds and raised kids, and although we have shared a few tears along the way,  I've enjoyed all of our time together. I am grateful for the chance to have known and worked with you.
 
With warmest wishes,
 
Tamara Bakewell
