Adoption Awareness Carnival
Posted
on May 17, 2014
Has your club planned your FUN activity for the upcoming Adoption Awareness Carnival on Saturday May 17th?
Every year 28,000 children in foster care leave the system without ever finding a permanent family to call their own. Nothing more impacts the life of a child than having a permanent, loving family. As Rotarians, let's reach out and help children in the North Texas foster care system, find their forever families by providing a fun filled event where these children and prospective parents can meet and get to know each other.
It's as simple as 1 -2-3
1. Plan a "carnival booth" type activity for your club to host.
2. Contact Leslie Clay at lesliewclay@gmail.com and tell her your plans.
3. Show up on Saturday May 17th in Grand Prairie and have fun!
- All Rotarians MUST have a newly completed CPS Texas Background Check verified before the Carnival
- Please start submitting your club members background check forms soon. No check, No Entrance.
- If you plan to attend, you must complete the attached CPS forms and send to PDG Linda Elliott at governor1011@rotary5810.org or bring them to the April round table. Do not send to CPS.
- Only those who have an approved CPS background check will be permitted in the building..
