"BAKER FOR A DAY" FUNDRAISER A DELICIOUS SUCCESS!
Special thanks to Great Harvest Bread Co. in Alexandria for inviting SCAN to be a "Baker for a Day" last month.  SCAN volunteers arrived at 5:00 AM to begin baking breads, scones and cookies - all to be sold to benefit SCAN.  Great Harvest owners Anwar and Rajaa Maysaud organized this special event to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the bakery.
 
The day raised more than $1,400 for SCAN's programs!    
 
FALL PARENTING CLASSES BEGIN
SCAN's popular ABCs of Parenting Classes begin this week for English-speaking parents, providing a place where parents can gain the skills to nurture their children and build their families. 
 
Classes for Spanish-speaking parents will begin in October, and registration begins October 5th.  Class fills quickly so call early!
