Lasagna drive-in dinner
SPONSOR:
Christian Child Care
WHO:
Anyone hungry
DETAILS:
Dinner menu: a large serving of lasagna, green beans and garlic
bread. All catering is by Nelson's Catering. Families can walk in or
drive around the back of the day care building and have their dinner
delivered to their car. Tickets should be purchased in advance and
are available at the center or from parents of CCC students. This
fall the day care center is working toward the goal of becoming
accredited with the National Association of Child Care
Professionals. Fundraising money is going toward the purchase of
equipment that need replacing to get ready for the coming
reviews.
Right now the center is making big plans for a summer of fun. If you
have questions about the summer program for school-age children or
want to purchase tickets for the lasagna dinner, contact Coleen
