Neighborhood Friend of the Week: Tennyson

Neighborhood Friend of the Week: Tennyson

Friend of the Week is a regular feature to introduce furry friends in the community who need loving and caring homes.  Please help these deserving animals find their forever guardians or consider adopting an animal yourself.  NFW East: Available for Adoption

NFW Challenge 2013:   411 / 460 Adoptions

Tennyson is quite the sophisticated adoptable.  He has all the classiness of his namesake, Lord Alfred Tennyson, a Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria’s reign.  Tennyson, our featured Friend, is ready to write a poem on your heart.  He will stop ye sad tears streaming and never say a farewell.  Tennyson will love you until he crosses the bar.

This furry Friend is a very handsome boy.  His personality gives him the sophistication and maturity he is known for.  Contrary to other puppies, Tennyson has just the right amount of energy.  He is playful and fun but not hyper.  He is also very curious and likes to explore and take in his surroundings.  Above all, Tennyson is one happy, happy dog.  He is an easy maintenance dog who will always put a smile on your face.  Bring some classiness home today.

To adopt Tennyson, contact the Geauga County Dog Shelter in Chardon at 440-286-8135, email geaugadogcoordinator@yahoo.com, or visit their Petfinder website.

Choose several, and with the touch of a button, send the images to friends and family to vote for their favorite.

Cuyahoga Community College is looking for volunteer tutors

Cuyahoga Community College is looking for volunteer tutors

Cuyahoga Community College is looking for community members to join its Community Volunteer Tutoring Program. Volunteers get the opportunity to give back to future generations, and students get the benefit of their knowledge and experience.

Tutors work one-on-one with students in all subject areas, but the greatest needs are in math and science. Volunteer tutors can meet with students at any of Tri-C’s campuses, and hours are flexible. 

“Math tutoring has been a great experience for me,” said William Sullivan, a volunteer at the Eastern and Metropolitan campuses. “The need for tutoring is greater than I realized. This is a great way to undo some of the myths and fears about math for students.”

Deborah Simpson, director of the Learning Center at Eastern Campus, said the tutors not only provide academic help, they also serve as role models. “Their expertise, knowledge and diverse backgrounds offer students a unique opportunity to study with people who provide a solid foundation in their respective academic disciplines and insights into workplace experiences.”

More information, including an online application, is available at www.tri-c.edu/tutoring

This program was made possible by a generous grant from the Kresge Foundation.
