Christian
Child Care Day of Fun!
On Saturday, July 26th from 8:00-1:00 Christian
Child Care, at 721 Wyatt Ave will be holding a Garage/Bake Sale and
Kids Carnival. The Carnival is a throwback to the penny carnivals of
years ago. There will be ring toss games, bowling, face painting and
so much more. The cost of each game is 10 cents a ticket. If a child
brings a can of food to donate they will receive five free tickets.
Director Coleen Moore reminisces about her childhood memories of
backyard carnivals. "Back in 1975 my neighborhood had a backyard
carnival for MS and earned over $80.00. In that day and age this was
an amazing about of money. Christian Child Care hopes to bring back
that fun for a great cause... The Child Care Center."
For the adults that day we are holding a traditional
garage/bake sale. And for the hungry, we will be selling hot dogs
and lemonade for a light lunch. Christian Child Care hopes this
Family Fun Day Event will become an annual fundraising tradition in
July.
Christian Child Care is a not for profit center that
serves children from 0 to 13 years old. They currently are serving
72 children and still have 41 openings for all age levels. Be sure
to register early before public school starts in August so you do
not end up on a waiting list. If you would like to make donations
for the garage/bake sale, volunteer or need information on any of
the upcoming events contact the center at 732-5750.
Got a good piece of news,
information or something that we can all brag about? If you do,
e-mail Mike and let us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win
cash. Every submission, whether we use it or not, will get your name
in the "Close Up" grab bag. At the end of the month we will draw a
name and someone will get $25.00 just for dropping us an e-mail. If
you wish, we will be happy to donate your winnings to the
organization of your choice.
