Free workshop designed for Single Moms

The Blue 1 Mission, a nonprofit faith-based organization, established in Ramona in 2012 has one purpose: “To help, support and serve Single Moms.

The Blue 1 Mission is thrilled to offer its' first, 100 percent complimentary, biannual ‘Workshop’ for single moms in the awesome community of Ramona.”

The Workshop will take place at Mountain View Community Church, 1191 Meadowlark Way, Ramona Ca. from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, and will be providing free childcare for children from infancy to age 14.

“This will be an exciting day of shooting fire extinguishers, getting their hands dirty under the hoods of their cars, and becoming skilled in the use of many different types of tools,” said Laurie Davidson, one of the group’s founders.

Leah and Jake Harris of Eiler Tire and Brake will bring their years of experience to the Workshop and teach moms how to check the fluid levels of their cars, change a tire, properly check tire pressure, and answer any questions they may have to keep them safely on the road and their cars out of the shop.

Also donating their time and knowledge will be Ransom Brothers. The moms will have an opportunity to use hammers, cordless drills, levels and various tools necessary to correctly hang pictures, towel bars, curtains, fix door handles, etc.

“We are so thankful for the amazing generosity from these local businesses that share our vision in reaching out to single moms in Ramona,” said Davidson.

The Blue 1 Mission also will provide beverages during the Workshop and a complimentary lunch for the moms and their children to wrap up the event.

The Workshop is limited to 40 single moms.

“It will fill up fast, so register as soon as possible,” advised Davidson.
