The Council of Social Concern will be offering a Parenting Education Class for parents of children ages 1-12 featuring topics that include discipline methods, routines, how to prevent tantrums, defusing power struggles, and great ways to take care of yourself.

The class will run for 7 consecutive weeks beginning in early 2010.

This class will use videos, activities, and group discussion.  The group leader will help you learn important skills for parenting.

In today's difficult economy, sharpening your skills and expanding your network is key to success in virtually every sector. Leadership Woburn provides a chance to develop practical leadership skills while making a difference in your community.  Participants will learn through 5 hands-on workshops and work on a community project.

The program is ideal for people moving into a community leadership role or who is looking to advance their career through leadership development.  Participants will receive $100 for a community project. 

Have you ever seen or heard the Japanese style of taiko drumming?  Big, loud drums, lots of energy and rhythm, heart-pounding music?  Did you know that, right here in Woburn, you can learn to play taiko?  Try it out on Tuesday, January 12 from 7:00-9:00.  We promise you that you'll come out of the workshop feeling energized and proud of your playing abilities! 

New drummers learn taiko fundamentals such as kata (form), kiai (vocalization) and kumidaiko (ensemble drumming). Translation: Look really cool while yelling and hitting things with friends!

Using our entire bodies to drum, we'll explore first-hand the mesmerizing, heart-pounding power of taiko. It's an invigorating experience for body and spirit!
