Hello young Pomonans! As our Homework Help Center comes to a close I'm afraid I don't have very good news for you.

Yesterday Daniel, who is our Homework Help Center coordinator, told us there is no more funding for this program.

Daniel brought this letter with him and posted it for all to see. Here is the letter:

Dear Community Members:

We regret to inform you that the Pomona Homework Help Center at the Pomona Public Library will be closed after June 3, 2010. The Center for Community-Service-Learning at Cal Poly Pomona has sponsored the Homework Help Center through an AmeriCorps Grant since 2007. Unfortunately, this coming year we were not funded due to the difficult budget cuts effecting Cal Poly Pomona. Our Center will not have the funds and staff to support the Homework Help Center next year. It has been a pleasure working with the staff at the Pomona Public Library and the children who have participated in our many activities.

Regrettably,

Dr. Gibert Cadena
Interim Director

Daniel James Zeleznik
AmeriCorps Promise Fellow
Coordinator, Pomona Homework Help Center

It is a sad day indeed.

I don't have the heart for a joke of the day. :(

Hey young Pomonans! What are you all doing for spring break? How about coming to the library and just read for fun? We will show you where all the really great books are and you can relax and read all week. How great does that sound? Or like the kids in this picture, create something new.

Just don't forget that we are here for you. There won't be any Homework Center this week because you all are not in school!

See you soon!

Joke of the day: Why did the hen cross the road?
Answer: To prove she wasn't chicken! ;)

Hello young Pomonans! Sorry to say there will be no Homework Help today. Cal Poly Pomona celebrates Cesar Chavez's birthday and they shut down all of their classes and projects. I apologize that we didn't get this information to you sooner but we just found out yesterday.

Two posts back I posted a homework help line you can use. Use that today and our Homework Help Center will be back tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Joke of the day: How do you cure a headache?
Answer: Put your head through the window and the pane will just disappear!
