Our new outdoor experiences will provide a place for children to enjoy the natural environment, learn to seek out exercise, fresh air, and activity, and promote care of the environment. The enclosed courtyard garden will contain learning zones focused on sensory experiences, horticulture exploration, and wellness including a demonstration garden, outdoor play kitchen, and landscaping elements to climb and explore. In partnership with Brightview Landscapes, WOW!’s new outdoor garden space is scheduled to open Summer 2019.</p>

<p><strong>Lafayette, Colorado</strong> – WOW! Children’s Museum (World of Wonder) is pleased to announce that the Museum has received a $15,000 grant from the Buell Foundation. This generous grant will support a wide-range community assessment project with a focus on increasing WOW!’s services to low-income Latino families; a population that has been identified as the most at-risk in our community. The grant provides funds for program evaluation, market research, focus groups, and partnership development. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The results of the assessment project will help WOW! strengthen community connections, provide opportunities for parent education, and define creative ways to reach more at-risk students by providing subjects that children might be missing at school or at home. In addition, the assessment will help WOW! evaluate its current facility to ensure each exhibit is in alignment with the Museum’s education philosophy and to create a space that is inclusive and reflective of the community.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“WOW! Children’s Museum is committed to serving as a gathering place for all children and families in the North Metro Area. We believe that bringing diverse individuals together allows us to better understand, support and engage our community. We are working to make our Museum and our programs accessible, meaningful and welcoming to all audiences and these grant funds help support that work,” said Jennifer Hinderliter, Executive Director.</p>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style=""> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style=""> </span></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">“Vanessa, you aren’t smart enough to get a job. You don’t even have a degree!”</span> <br/><br/><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Those harsh words set the path Vanessa Frambes began in 2007, seven months after her son, James was born. The intent may have been to keep Vanessa<br/>
down, but the result was the determination to become a college graduate with a<br/>
highly specialized and responsible<br/>
engineering position and a happy 3-1/2 year son. Vanessa attributes some<br/>
of her success to the<br/>
scholarship assistance and support she received from the Zonta Foothills Club<br/>
of Boulder County.<span style=""> <br/></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1051671676?profile=original" alt=""/></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Vanessa Frambes is a remarkable 27 year old mother who recently graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder. “August 6, 2010,” she says with a big<br/>
smile. In fact, she is the first in her family to obtain a four-year<br/>
college degree. The pride she exhibits stems from a contagious enthusiasm<br/>
for life and for all she does. She is positive and undeterred in her<br/>
outlook so it is no surprise to learn that in 2007, with little money, a baby<br/>
and not much support, she sat down in her first CU classroom; and three years<br/>
later, she graduated with a degree in Distributive Studies. Now, she is<br/>
one of the small number of college students with a full time job at the time of<br/>
graduation. She is a Consultant for Navigant Consulting’s fifty person<br/>
Boulder office where she has worked for 2-1/2 years; first as a part time<br/>
Training Project Coordinator and now as a program manager for an East Coast<br/>
energy efficiency study involving 600 sites. Her office peers generally<br/>
have master degrees, but newly-graduated Vanessa sits shoulder-to-shoulder with<br/>
her colleagues. Her drive and intelligence were obvious in high school<br/>
where her resume reads like a community service primer with leadership roles in<br/>
an anti-violence campaign, mock elections, Williamette River clean-up efforts,<br/>
and she even worked the graveyard shift for MESA’s rape hotline. <br/></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/></span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style=""> </span>She credits many people in her life for helping her go back to college at the age of 23, after travelling, holding down five jobs at once, and then finding herself pregnant. Her son is thriving<br/>
and she is proud he has always had at home child care or attended classes with<br/>
her. <br/></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/></span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Despite her $45,000 college debt, she credits the scholarships she received to have made all the difference. She applied for thirteen scholarships (all<br/>
with individual applications and essays), and won three, including the Zonta<br/>
Foothills Club of Boulder County’s Bev Hackbart Scholarship. </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <a href="http://zontafoothills.org/default.asp">Zonta Foothills Club of Boulder County</a> is one of 1200 non profit Zonta International clubs worldwide whose mission is to advance the status of women and girls locally and<br/>
internationally through improving their safety, health, education, economic<br/>
stability and legal equality. Zonta Foothills consists of about 40<br/>
volunteers who give their time and skills to help women in our community and<br/>
abroad. </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Through the CU Foundation, Zonta established an annual $1000 scholarship for a single parent attending CU in honor of Bev Hackbart, a Zonta Foothills’ member<br/>
who passed away suddenly in 2000. The Club established an endowment in 2004 and<br/>
then raised $25,000 in three years to fund it and begin to award<br/>
scholarships. Frambes is the first and second recipient in 2008 and<br/>
2009. </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/> What impact can $1000 have for a working mother and university student? <br/>
”The impact of the Bev Hackbart Scholarship is much more than<br/>
books, tuition and supplies. The impact was deeply psychological,” Vanessa<br/>
says. “Knowing a group of women back you and support you gave me the<br/>
drive and determination to stay with my studies when things got tough. <br/>
Knowing people were behind me made me know I could do it.” </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/> “Vanessa is a vibrant example for what our club does, says Zonta Foothills Club Board member Janine<br/>
Clark. “She reminds us that every dollar we raise makes a<br/>
difference in the lives of the women we help as well as in the lives of their<br/>
children. Education has a huge impact on their future.”<br/>
Vanessa , in her scholarship application essay wrote, “ Without a<br/>
college degree I am unable to provide for my son…not…just materialistically,<br/>
but also in the ability to…experience life to the fullest.” </span></p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Zonta Foothills’ 2010-11 Bev Hackbart Scholarship recipient is Christine Nakwa. Born in Southern Sudan, Christine moved to Boulder two years ago from<br/>
Syracuse, New York, to pursue higher education at the University of Colorado at<br/>
Boulder. She is a junior at CU majoring in Sociology with a minor in Women and<br/>
Gender Studies and a certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies. She has a<br/>
four year old daughter, Gabriella.</span></p>
