ESU Monmouth County Welcomes New Board Members

ESU Monmouth is Moving Forward!

The ESU Monmouth County Branch welcomed two new Board members this spring, Vicki Schmelzer and Lindsey Slott. Both Vicki and Lindsey bring extensive volunteer backgrounds with them and have jumped in with sleeves rolled up. In her short time on the Board, Lindsey has organized several of our upcoming events and provided a new perspective on outreach that is sure to increase the value of our events and offerings to our members. Vicki has organized the new English Conversation Program to be offered for the first time this September. We are happy to have two such creative and dynamic new members on our Board.

Our new ENGLISH IN ACTION Program starts in September!

ESU Monmouth County and the Atlantic Highlands Library will start a free English conversation program which matches English-speaking tutors with learners whose native language is not English. Learners must already know English, and seek to improve their conversational speaking skill. The program offers an informal setting for tutors and learners in the Atlantic Highlands public library. To learn more and to participate in the program, contact the Atlantic Highlands Library, 100 First Avenue, at 732-291-1956.
