Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be known as the Children of God. But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from those who take away your cloak, do not withhold your coat as well. Give to everyone who begs from you, and of those who take away your goods, do not ask them again. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. - CHRISTIAN PRAYER OF PEACE Larry Lord Foundation is again offering a Job Skills Training Pro- gram for local students ages 13 to 20 years old. Lord said, "Our food handlers class last year was a big success so were doing it again this year. This year we're holding the food handler training classes and dinner at Times 3 Family Restaurant in Quartzsite. Please help us get our students trained, permitted and ready for jobs in the food service industry. Eleven people earned their food handler permits at our training pro- gram last year. Hopefully even more will be participating this year. Dinner ticket sales and stu- dent applications will begin on Saturday October 1, 2022 Lord said, "Our Food Handlers Training Class is scheduled for Sat- urday October 8, 2022 at 2 PM. The class will be held at Times 3 Restaurant. There is no charge for the class for our students as the Job Skills Training Program will be pay- ing for their food handler permits. Food handler cards will be issued at the end of the class. Others are in- vited to join our food handler class- es to renew their permits at no cost for the class. The permit cost is $15 per attendee for non-students." Thewill be preparing and serving a meal with guidance and oversight from the crew at Times 3 Restau- rant, that will include a salad with homemade ranch dressing, roasted pork tenderloin, real mashed po- tatoes with lumps and tasty gravy, Youth Job Skills training offered oven roasted brussel sprouts, a din- ner roll, your drink and desert. Dinners will be served at 4 PM on Sunday October 9, 2022. Dinner tickets are limited to 50 dinners so purchase your tickets soon at Times 3 Family Restaurant. Cost for the dinner is only $15.00 per person or $30.00 per couple. All food will be made from scratch and served by our Job Skills Train- ing students as they learn the food preparation and service processes. There is no charge to our students for the training or the food handler permits. Be sure to purchase your tickets as soon as they are available so you don't miss out on this wonderful op- portunity to help our local kids. The Job Skills Training Program goal is to help people with lim- ited opportunities, get training for skilled jobs that actually exist and to help them fi nd work. Their focus is to mentor ambitious teenagers and young adults into the industrial trades. Lord said, "We are preparing you for your future. Like it or not, your success will depend on your attitude and appearances just as much as it will your skills. We have limited space and funds so we cannot waste either of them on an ambivalent stu- dent. We take your future seriously and require that you do the same. We've got your back, but only while you're moving forward!" For more information visit Job Skills Train- ing Program Facebook page.
