Kids Special Programs
Harry Potter’s Birthday Party – Sandy 100 kids, 79 parents + 7 teen volunteers! This program was a huge success. One parent said “We have been to MANY Harry Potter e vents, and this one was the best one!” We had wand making and food indoors, potion making outside the Community Room doors on the sidewalk; it was a good thing we did, as the green foamy potion was difficult to control, and went everywhere!
