2018 Spring Homes Tour and LuncheonFrom the stunning new backyard project and architectural delight of the Kishimoto home to

the continuing massive restoration project of the Brooks’ 1905 Victorian home, the 2018 Spring Homes Tour promises an illuminating and fun-filled day for its guests!

This biennial CCDC fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday, May 6 from 11:00 to 4:30. Once again lunch is included in the $25 ticket price and will be served from 11:00-2:00 at Occasions at Wedgefield.

We are thrilled to feature five distinctive residences and are grateful to these owners for sharing their homes with us:

Gerry Dukes especially enjoys the screened porch and patio in her charming “Classic Charleston” frame home in the cozy neighborhood of Village Walk. Equally charming, but with a totally different feel, is Gerrie and Leroy Adams’ spacious “English Country style” home in Clarendon Hall. Visit Nancy Gordon’s beautifully appointed single-story “Village Home” to get a feel for the close-knit, multi-generational community of Patrick Square. On a strikingly different note is Toshiko and Yuji Kishimotos’ home designed by owner/architect, Yuji, in Creekside at Clemson. (Be sure to walk at least part way down to the lake on the recently completed backyard wooden walkway!) In total contrast is the astonishing, on-going renovation of the huge 1905 Victorian home of Katherine and Tripp Brooks in Central. (Owners will share some “before and after” stories and photos.)

We know that many people have been curious, so as a bonus, tour guests have been invited to visit the newly completed Professor J.J. Porter Bed & Breakfast on Issaqueena Trail. Part of Regina Porter’s mission is to foster community involvement by welcoming musicians and artists of all types into her B & B home.

So spread the word, save the date, gather a carload of friends, and get your tickets! Carpooling is encouraged and the homeowners especially appreciate having tour guests park as efficiently and considerately as they can.

Because every dollar goes into the CCDC scholarship fund to provide a top-notch, affordable pre-school education for those who need it, we tremendously appreciate the support of all our amazing sponsors—individuals, area businesses, and local organizations who have come forward with financial sponsorships. Many thanks to the homeowners who so graciously open their homes and to the legion of volunteers who plan and organize the event and who help on the day of the tour.

Remember, it’s all about the children…and contributing to the CCDC scholarship fund. The overwhelming research on the lifelong benefits of a positive pre-school experience brings us right back around to “a good beginning never ends.” See you May 6!

Holiday Revue: Celebration, Diversity, and Recognitions!Our CCDC families once again packed the auditorium on December 8, eagerly anticipating the children’s performances. Staff

member Linda Session and teacher Karen Wiley opened the program singing “O Holy Night” and “This Christmas.” All the teachers and their children had worked hard on their classroom performances and were rewarded with generous applause.

Once again we are grateful to Dewey Brown for playing Santa. The faces of our 4K students were priceless as he approached the stage during their performance.

Adding a delightful note of diversity were the performances of three families: one singing “Jingle Bells” accompanied with musical instruments, another sharing the Argentine song “Wavin’ Flag,” and a third dancing to an Indian wedding celebration folk song “Punjabi.” Since the CCDC embraces and promotes cultural diversity, it was a joy to see everyone sharing this special afternoon together.

With the house full of families, the event was the perfect opportunity to recognize several very special people. Heading the list was Malcolm Skove for his years of dedication to the CCDC as a founder, a donor, and a long time “Wiseman” (men who have devoted countless hours to maintaining our property and facilities). Malcolm was unable to attend the Revue for health reasons so fellow Wiseman, Cecil Huey, accepted the plaque on his behalf.

We also recognized other valuable regular volunteers: Jane Hamilton for countless hours and years of help in the infant room, Gervais Emanuel and Barbara Procopio Allen as librarians, and Cecil Huey and Ron Sparks as property maintenance Wisemen. Each received a gift certificate for Sunnyside Café as a small thank-you for all their volunteer help.

As always, we’d like to thank our parents who provided refreshments for the occasion.

CARA’s Kit Professional Development Training

The CCDC participates in the scholarship program offered by Pickens County First Steps to help eligible children receive tuition assistance. To participate, we agree to receive the free CARA’s (Creating Adaptations for Routines and Activities) Kit training made possible by the S.C. Inclusion Collaborative. The training is an intensive professional development opportunity for teachers and program directors, and consists of three training sessions and on-site coaching.

Teachers and program directors who fully participate in the training receive 15 DSS training hours, five each in Growth and Development, Curriculum, and Special Needs.

Trainer Kim McCollum provided the first two 2.5-hour trainings on February 2 and March 8. The final session is scheduled for April 5.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!Thing One and Thing Two and The Cat

in the Hat were running rampant around the Center on March 2 as the children ate Green Eggs and Ham. Children and teachers spent a fun-filled day dressing up, making special crafts, and reading Dr. Seuss books in celebration of the author’s birthday!

Everyone Loves a ParadeSeveral parents, some of them council members, worked to create a

cardboard gingerbread house to decorate the parade vehicle. Mr. Jim Weldon again made his mini bus available and with the help of driver, Reno Wilson, twelve children and their families proudly represented the CCDC in the 2017 City of Clemson Annual Christmas parade.

Community InvolvementA Tribute to Malcolm Skove

This plaque presented to Malcolm Skove is but a tiny token of CCDC’s huge appreciation for all his contributions to the Center over the years. Former Board presi-dent, Larry Gahan, shares...

Malcolm Skove is “One of a kind.” He could fix anything. If he didn’t know how to fix something, he’d figure out how, and then he’d fix it.

He was one of the original founders of CCDC and seemed to always be a Board member, serving too many terms to count.

As a long-time member of the CCDC Property Committee (1968-2017), nick-named the “Wisemen” by the rest of us, Mal-colm fixed toys, classroom furniture, equipment, shelves, playpens, toilets and lights. He made improvements to buildings and play-ground equipment to ensure the children’s safety. At CCDC’s former site, it was not uncommon for him to crawl underneath the old module buildings to fix whatever needed fixing.

In 2007, when CCDC moved to its present site, Malcolm helped transport the classroom furniture and equipment and supervised the move in and set up for each classroom. He climbed into the attic to connect the internet. He helped set up the office and class-room computers and fixed any problems that arose.

When it was evident the 3s and 4K playground needed shade, Malcolm donated enough money to purchase a carport structure that provided shade for the children. He also helped with other donations as the needs arose.

Once the CCDC Board decided to initiate a new fundraiser (football game day parking), Malcolm made arrangements with the property owners at the beginning of each year, set up the signage, secured the cash necessary to make change and stored the signs for the next year. He was the backbone behind the fundraiser’s success.

Thanks to Outgoing Board MembersThe CCDC Board is very much a “working board” and most people have no idea of the countless hours spent by its members

behind the scenes. We are bidding farewell to several people who have made a huge difference over the past several years.Carol Ann Wiley has served for several years, most recently as board president. She helped organize and served on a very active Ed-

ucation Committee as well as the demanding Homes Tour Committee, some years as chairperson. Carol has been extremely involved in all the fundraising activities and very active in the football parking venture. Carol is known for getting things done!

Ken Weichel has been a staunch member of the football parking crew season after season, a member of the Education Committee, and the flipper of pancakes at every single pancake supper for years. He has helped with the homes tour luncheon and was always quietly available for set-up, cleanup, event organizing, and whatever the job at hand.

Susan Dooley spearheaded the “No Party” Party Invitation project and put her experience to work on the Education Committee. She was involved with the spring tea and helped with countless other fundraising events.

Renee Martin has been active in soliciting sponsorship for a variety of fundraisers. She has helped every year with the family pancake supper, has lent her tent and grill for events, has donated items for events, and often provides special learning materials for various classroom activities. Renee has done an excellent job of publicizing our 4K program in the Seneca area.

Vince Jackson was a huge help as a volunteer for the 2016 Homes Tour.Many thanks to these outgoing board members for sharing their time, talents, and resources with the CCDC.

Community InvolvementVolunteers Make a Difference

We know how fortunate we are to be situated in a university town and a close-knit community with an excellent high school. We so appreciate the volunteer help we receive from Daniel High School and Clemson University students.

The Daniel High Interact Club came to help clean sleeping mats and play with the children. Daniel’s Beta Club brought donated paper and learning supplies and played with the children outdoors. Our children love to interact with these older role models. Both groups volunteer once a month.

From the university, CU Mortar Board members brought, and helped organize, a large quantity of paper, cleaning and art supplies which had been collected by the beauty pageant contestants. They can be counted on to volunteer 3-4 times a month.

Our children had the best time when volunteers from the CU Black Student Union came to do valentine crafts and games with the 3’s and 4K children. They brought treats for each child to take home.

CU Sister to Sister came to interact with the children and CU Gamma Sigma Gamma came three times to provide craft activities for the older children.

Our children are the benefactors of the generous donation of time and supplies of these high school and college organizations. These older students serve as vital role models. The value of their contribution can never be underestimated! Hats off to all our amazing volunteers!

Children enjoy being pushed on swings by Daniel High Beta Club members.

MLK Day Community ServiceThough the CCDC was closed Monday, January 15, that didn’t mean there was

nothing going on that day. Quite the contrary. Nine student volunteers from the Clemson University Gospel Choir were busy for the morning and early afternoon cleaning classroom shelves, rugs and toys. They also painted in the hallway under the direction of Wiseman Cecil Huey. We are grateful to CCDC parents Curtis and Esme Carter, owners of a paint shop, for donating the paint for the project.

We were also glad to welcome Greg Oliver from the Seneca Daily Journal/Daily Messenger who came that morning to cover the MLK Day Clemson University com-munity service story.

Celebrating Former CCDC Champions

We are saddened by the recent passing of two former board members and long time supporters of the Child Develop-ment Center.

Betty Dickerson Long (1925-2018) was passionate about education, earned her M.Ed. from Clemson, and taught in the Oconee County school system. She be-lieved every child could learn!

Dr. Robert Lambert (1920-2018) was a distinguished professor of History at Clemson. He was a member of the finance committee for the founding of the CCDC in 1969.
