NEW ORLEANS - District "E" Councilmember Cyndi Nguyen is launching a series of free playdates in her district throughout the summer months. "Summer Playdates with Councilwoman Cyndi Nguyen" was created to give children an opportunity to stay busy during their time off from school while learning key social, physical and motor skills.

Children will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities including arts and crafts, yoga, painting, storytelling and building, to name a few. The series will be hosted on Saturdays at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library (1611 Caffin Ave) from 10 a.m. to noon starting June 1 and ending July 20, and also at the Read Library (5641 Read Blvd) on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. starting June 2 and ending July 21. These events are free and open to all children in District "E" and the surrounding areas.

Summer Playdates is also an excellent way for local students to gain volunteer hours. Any student looking to obtain volunteer hours while supporting this community initiative may contact the District "E" office at (504) 658-1050 or via email at Cyndi.Nguyen@NOLA.gov.
