Moms Graduate from Parenting Class
On July 15, the Wylie Center will congratulate another Incredible Years class on their effort over the past 12 weeks. The class was being held at Amelia's Light, a local women's shelter at March Airforce Base.
The single mothers learned several strategies on how to play with their child(ren), utilize descriptive praise, and how to implement a routine.
This parenting class was funded by the Seraphim Fund, The Community Foundation Serving San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. |

4th of July Craft
Do you need a fun craft that will entertain your kids and help you set the table? "Well, this is one can-do robot. His recycled-can head holds a hair-raising array of utensils, and a clear container belly keeps cookies safe from eager little hands until it's time for dessert."

Wylie Center Enters Awards Contest to Help Mom's with Post-partum Mood Disorders
 If you are willing to "like it" on your Facebook page (and consider encouraging friends to do the same) this is a really easy way for you to help us raise awareness and fundraise for women with postpartum depression.
We are working with StayClassy, an on-demand social fundraising solution for non-profit organizations which helps 501c3 market themselves across the web, particularly to a younger demographic, with plug-ins to popular social sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and more.
So the feel of this is more like a "contest" than a fundraiser. "Prize" is $150,00 to be divided between 12 non-profits. The Inland Empire Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative applied as an "advocacy" organization to be a part of this contest and were approved.
We have until July 8th to get a minimum of 100 people to "like us" on Facebook. We already have 160 so we have met the minimum, but we want to exceed this by far so that we can be in the Top 25 to get into the next round of competition.
Instructions:
1. Go to the link below through www.stayclassy.org
Link to Achievement Page:
2. Click on the button to log onto your Facebook account and then "like it".
3. Make sure that you "like" the button near the title "Postpartum Collaborative Seeks to Help Women with Postpartum Mood Disorders".
