The Dolard & Priscilla Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston recently received a $1,000 grant from the Lewiston-Auburn Children’s Foundation. The center will use the funds for the Fun in French and Community Learning Center after-school programs, which serve more than 90 children in the Lewiston-Auburn area with language and culture classes. These classes and programs are aimed at children ages 4 to 12 with their parents, grandparents or accompanying adult and are designed to introduce, refresh and help introduce French to children and provide opportunities to continue learning at home. Liza Dimitri, second from left, vice president of the Lewiston-Auburn Children’s Foundation, awards the grant to Franco Center officials, from left, Edmond Gay, facilities director; Jacynthe Blais Jacques, cultural and language programs director; and Injonge Blandine, French Club leader and French instructor for the after-school youth programs at Hillview Resource Center.
