Illinois Valley workshop offers two Thursday recreation groups
The Illinois Valley sheltered workshop launches its second winter-spring recreational program split into two Thursday sessions one for physical activities at Center School from 4 to 5 p.m. and a non-physical option from 3:30 to 5 p.m. for those not choosing aggressive games. Activities include arts crafts with Grundy County Extension, Learn to Swim, bowling returning in May, and social luncheons. Volunteer coordinators, newsletters, and community support from Morris and Coal City Junior Woman's Clubs sustain ongoing programs and trips to Springfield and Chicago. Donations support program funding and equipment.
