Well, it’s that time of year again; it seems the days are flying by too quickly. Didn’t Christmas just happen lol? ;) Well I have been busy as usual, day to day tasks of being available for phone calls, emails, faxes, etc… I always do my best to be available for membership, if not; I try to respond in a timely manner. Employment/Training Well this year end, Terra is wrapping up the yearend expenses, all new requests are beings referred until April 1st, 2012. She is working very closely with our Social & Health Team, every Thursday, a group of us meet to discuss current programs and new opportunities and how we can support each other.

Elementary/Secondary The number of students registered for the 2011/2012 school year is at 99. To date, I have 4 confirmed graduates for June 2012, they are:
If your child or you know someone who is graduating this year, please let me know ASAP, I would be more than happy to share the graduation incentive program we offer… All attendance and effort incentives are being processed, please remember it Post Secondary Our current program offers full time sponsorship which includes tuition, books/supplies and a monthly living out allowance. If part time, a student can expect tuition and books/supplies only, no living out allowance. We have 16 students registered for the winter 2012 semester, had 2 students default on the last semester, one did return to work and another has failed his academic probation with the institute. I am working on addressing these potential arrears with these students. At this time, I have had 14 new requests for full time sponsorship for the Fall 2012 semester, 2 applications have been received in FULL. I had 5 requests for spring/summer sessions, in past practices, no full time sponsorship has been processed, and all requests are being reviewed by date received. As per our Post Sec Policy, April 1st is the deadline for applying with MLIB Education Department, if apply after this date, your application will be considered late and be at the bottom of the priority list. Please do not let this deter you from applying, applications will still be reviewed. In late June, all applications to be reviewed, all students will be notified in July whether they’re application has been approved or not.
