NWTC in Oconto Falls is pleased to offer two FREE learning sessions to the Oconto Falls Area this spring. Open to adults, these sessions are titled: What’s Your Brand? and How do You Share? These will be offered from 5-7pm on Thursday, April 10, 2014. Each attendee will get to participate in both sessions.
The “What’s Your Brand” session will help you learn what your online presence looks like and what you can do to improve your image and future connections through online media. Do you have things posted on social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) that might be considered questionable by a future employer? Not sure? How does your boss and co-workers perceive you at work based on your personal pages? This session will address these questions and more.
In the “How Do You Share?” session, you will gain an understanding of what social media and photography now have in common and how you can share photos with family, friends and professional sites. You will be taught about photo placement as well as sharing on a variety of types of social media. You may even learn a few tips to improve the quality of your photos.
Just call 920-848-6982 to sign up – it’s FREE.

An unusual 3 way outdoor partnership came together this week at Oconto Falls Elementary. Chique Tousey-Tabar and Ray Tabar are shown with a with a $500 check from the Oconto Falls Lions, in front of their trail grooming equipment with the Oconto Falls Elementary cross country ski trail in the background.
Ray serves as the trail manager and Chique serves as the Secretary/Treasurer for the Machickanee Cross Country Ski Club. The club coordinates a system of over seven miles of trails in the Machickanee forest south of Oconto Falls.
The Tabars are passionate about the sport and have done much to promote youngster’s interest. For the past seven or eight years, when snow conditions were favorable, they partnered with Oconto Falls Elementary physical education teacher Rochelle Otto to give 4th and 5th grade students an experience on skis.
Over the years, a collection of skis, poles, shoes, and bindings has been put together from donations and Rochelle’s P.E. budget. When the time is right, Ray uses club equipment to groom trails on the property behind the school. The school’s daily schedule is modified slightly to allow for an extended physical education period.
Over a one week period, each 4th and 5th grader gets a chance to “take to the slopes.” For the 4th grade students, it is a first time experience. The 5th graders are almost “pros,” since it is a second year experience for them. The program has multiple benefits including getting a taste for a life-long sport, understanding that there are great trails only a few miles away, and encouraging outdoor physical activity at a time when “cabin fever” can creep into the classroom. Mrs. Otto’s class continues to get high marks for being fun.
Ray and Chique flash smiles with the Lions donation.
Chique volunteers extensively with the Lions ticket scanning at Lambeau Field. The Lions are pleased to support the Machickanee Cross Country Ski Club and their efforts to bring the love of this “silent sport” to young people of the area.
Anyone who has good used cross country equipment, especially sized for younger skiers, to donate to this effort can contact the Tabar’s at 846-2965.
