Speaking Benefit for a Brighter Future…
Over the years our marvelous BBF committee has dwindled as kids outgrew the district and volunteers moved their energy on to the next deserving project. The committee is down to a skeleton crew and we need fresh blood, energy, and helping hands to make BBF 2015 as fabulous as in prior years. The committee has already finished a lot of the early activities (did lot of work going after sponsors, the venue is set, marketing is going well) and now it’s fun for the party planning. Decorations, kids’ activities (costumes, how they will interact with the guests, etc), catering, and so forth; it can all be fun if find a group to work on it together as a team. Plus our theme is a tropical cruise — just think of the opportunities — shuffle board, islands named after sponsors, kids in sailor hats, this is a fun theme! If you’re interested in being a part of this effort, please contact Erika Pretell at erika.pretell@gmail.com
