If you have young children in your life, consider taking them to the 5th Annual Family Fun Festival on Sunday, February 27, 2011 from 11 am to 2 pm at the Hellenic Community Centre. It’s a fundraiser for Childreach, tickets are $10 for children 2 to 12 and $40 for adults, and it’s fabulous value and fun for all ages. This year’s event is shaping up to be the best year yet with Storybook Gardens’ Imagination Playground, crafts from the Children’s Museum, karaoke, cupcake decorating, storytelling with the Waldorf School, face-painting, clowns, and visits from Princesses Belle & Aurora and Spiderman! There’s a child-friendly brunch buffet, a sundae bar, a family-focused silent auction, a big loot bag for each child, and so much more!

Mark your calendars! Friday, November 6, 2009 is Childreach’s 5th Annual Soup & Chili Luncheon fundraiser for the United Way Campaign. Last year we had more than twenty of the most delicious soups and chilis from which to taste – all home-cooked by our staff, and we raised over $750! We guarantee you will not be disappointed. It’s all-you-can-eat for a minimum donation of $7 to United Way. Just drop in for lunch between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to fill up; although, we recommend coming earlier rather than later as the crockpots empty fast!

Be prepared! No one wants to think of the unimaginable, but 55 children are reported missing to police in Ontario every day. Volunteers from the Masonic Lodge will photograph, fingerprint and take DNA samples of your child. You will be provided with a disc for future identification purposes; information is then deleted from the system. The only thing retained is the permission slip.
Dates: Saturday, February 21, 2009 and Saturday, November 7, 2009
Time: 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Where: Childreach, 265 Maitland St. (just north of Horton St.)
Cost: FREE
To register for a 10-minute appointment per child, call 519-434-3644 x.10.
