DRAGONFLY FUND

If I Was Asked To Dream...™

We have set our sights on the future, and this a sneak peak of things to come. Within the next few months, Rising Oak Foundation will be developing the curriculum for "The Dragonfly Personal Enrichment Program"™ and the "Dragonfly Summer Enrichment Camp - (10) Days to Transformation"™. "If I Was Asked To Dream..."™ is the pilot program we are launching to roll-out and perfect the first (3) components of our program curriculum.

An outline of our workshop structured program, as well as an itemized "materials list" is provided below for your review. Should you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Jeanette Davis-Loeb @ (206) 909-9578 or email us at info@risingoak.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
