Target Opens New Education Wing

 

Target Community & Educational Services, Inc. (Target) celebrated the opening of a new education wing with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a Carroll County Chamber PM Connections event on April 24th at 111 Stoner Avenue in Westminster. Gypsy’s Tea Room cosponsored the event and provided a delicious assortment of hors d’oeuvres, desserts and flavored teas.

Training is provided to increase independent living skills to assist these individuals to live as self-sufficiently as possible.
