The Hope Learning Center, LINC St. Charles County, has its first preschool alumni member… Mr. Devon Norman!
We are pleased to announce the high school graduation of Mr. Devon Norman. Devon is attending a local college and has a football scholarship waiting on him! Devon shared with me that because he was sponsored to play with the LINC football program, he found his love for the sport which led to many college scouts watching him in his sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. We are so proud of Devon! The LINC staff wishes you well.

Several children attended LINCs Bike Clubthis past Tuesday, June 6th. They enjoyed getting their bicycles repaired and then taking a ride around LINC’s Love Park bike trail. How special to see the faces light up with big smiles when they jumped on their repaired bicycles for a test ride around the park!
Dave Day (left in photo) volunteers Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. during the summer, and leads this LINC program. Denny McCarthy also regularly volunteers on Tuesdays at LINC’s Bike Club, and helps make this great program available to the youth. Dave and Denny teach the youth (age 11 and older) how to repair their own bicycles and also bicycle safety as well as riding their bikes around the park and special events at other locations. Following the Bike Club, the children are invited to attend LINC’s Summer Lunch Program.
Volunteers are still needed for one hour on both Tuesdays and Thursdays; both men and women volunteers are needed. No bike repairing or teaching skills are necessary. Please contact LINC at 636-332-5127.
The LINC Community Garden needs volunteers to help with planting, weeding, and harvesting the vegetables. Please call LINC at 636-332-5127 to sign up. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Come join the fun at LINC’s Summer Bicycle Club! This is a great opportunity for children age 11 and up to socialize with others while they get exercise and learn about bicycle repair and safety.
The Bicycle Club, located in Wentzville at LINCs Community Center, at 9 Love Park Lane, is hosted by volunteers. It is a safe and fun place for children to enjoy riding their bicycles. Equally important, children learn how to repair their bicycles and learn biking safety. The Bicycle Club is FREE to children age 11 and up who live in Hidden Valley Estates subdivision. If your child doesn’t own a bicycle…they will be provided an opportunity to earn their own bicycle through community service hours at LINC. — Bicycle Club hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. In the event of bad weather, that day’s event will be cancelled.
We need additional volunteers for both Tuesdays and Thursdays programs, for the one hour, from 10:30 – 11:30. To obtain additional details about the program or to volunteer, please contact 636-332-5127. Thank you.
