Cultural Navigator program highlighted today by both the RedmondPatch and the BellevuePatch.

City council members from Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland visited our two Eastside sites and learned about the services CISC provides to immigrants in Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese and the languages of India.

Redmond Play & Learn

Just found out today that one of the participants in this play and learn group, a grandfather, finds it so worthwhile he takes a $20 cab ride to Grasslawn Park every week so he can participate in the group with his grandchild.

Now, that's dedication!

To learn more, contact Saulai Cheung at saulaic@cisc-seattle.org or just stop by any Thursday from 10:00 to 11:30.

Open House

CISC recently had an open house to celebrate the new office space for the Eastside Cultural Navigator Program at the Family Recourse Center in Redmond. Thanks to new funding from the Seattle Foundation, there will now be more Spanish and Russian Cultural Navigators at CISC.

And what better way to celebrate this expanded cultural assistance than through food! The 60 or so community leaders who attended were treated to Russian piroshky, Indian samosas, Chinese egg tarts, and tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole.

Play and Learn in Redmond

The Spring/Summer Redmond Recreation Guide just came out and CISC will continue to offer Play and Learn groups at Grasslawn Park. OK, so they got the name wrong, but at least it's in the catalog.

Although this group is sponsored by the City of Redmond, anyone can join in the fun. If you haven't been to the newly renovated Grasslawn Park, you need to go and check it out! Especially the new water feature, which will be lots of fun for the little ones when the sun comes out again.

Thursday mornings 10:00-12:00 in the pavilion! Click here for details-->
