See How Boat Building Helps Teens
Join Rotarian Chip Finch on Thursday, Aug. 4 at 10 a.m. to see one of our Norfolk Rotary Charities grants in action. We will visit the Tidewater Wooden Boat Workshop where teens living in Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing (NRHA) communities
are finishing wooden rowboats they have built this summer with help from volunteers. This program puts middle-school students' math skills to work and teaches them woodworking, teamwork and life skills to last a lifetime. Drop by between 10 a.m. and 12 noon to see this special program in action.

The workshop is a 910 Ballentine Boulevard in Norfolk between I-264 and Virginia Beach Boulevard. This is an NRHA work site. Enter the fenced area and drive past the first building and you will see a sign for the Tidewater Wooden Boat Workshop. Parking is right by the building. Call 353-9418 if you need more directions.
