Greetings!
Before and After photos are inspirations. We are exited to begin the process of creating an "AFTER" experience. Thanks in large part to the Initiative Foundation and their $10,000 grant opportunity for Financial Resiliency & Social Enterprise (FR&SE), the JFHML Friends Foundation is going to be expanding their retail venture, Backstreet Books, and creating a new computer lab area and wifi internet cafe complete with coffee bar and other amenities.
This new area, LE CONNECTION, will offer a comfortable area to connect with others via the web or in person over a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Bring in your laptop or reading device, download an e-book from over 1300 titles, check out an i-pad for up to 4 hours for FREE, or access one of our nine computer lab PCs...All of this is made possible by people and organizations working together in partnership to create an environment which fosters self-improvement and positive social interactions for all generations.
We Cater to the Curious!
Sincerely,
Peggi Beseres
