We had a great time hosting kids at our Craft & Pajama Party! We partnered with Noon Rotarian Emily Mooseman, the United Way of The Adirondacks, The Autism Alliance, the Coalition for Suicide Prevention, the Childcare Coordinating Council, Homeward Bound, Noon Rotary, and Billy Jones. We had craft tables, a holiday card station for seniors, sensory stations, and Billy Jones read the children "the night before Christmas". It was a great day spreading cheer to our local children.
Note from Sue -
The location worked out so well that we hope to mirror that next year. The partner agencies were awesome, with each offering unique crafts and interactive games, as well as information to help local families in our communities!!! Julie rocked it representing UW of the ADKs!
The holiday greeting card center was also a big hit... Christina Ubl from Plattsburgh Noon Rotary and her family really added to the family experience of reaching out to those in our communities who may not receive the greetings and love from family or friends.
Lastly, Assemblyman Billy Jones was so warm and welcoming to those who participated in the event... He really finished off the event by reading, " Twas A Night Before Christmas". It was great to hear the kids yell out, "Santa Claus" when Billy would turn the book around and show the pictures.
After talking to a few parents, their families had a great time!!! Hoping to hear about more events like this in the future...
