Make a Difference Day 2010

For Make a Difference Day the North Central Region RSVP and Foster Grandparent program partnered with the Aberdeen Optimist Club for their annual Pumpkin Patch for Kids event.
Hundreds of families came to Centennial Village to pick pumpkins and participate in pumpkin and face painting, storytelling by our fabulous Foster Grandparents and many more activities.
For our part of the event we provided hours of delightful story telling by Grandma Sr. Verna and former Grandma Sr. Mary Lou. After everyone enjoyed a story from Grandma we had the children choose a brand new book to take home. Grandma Arlene and Grandma Violet helped the children pick out their new book. All in all we gave out over 420 books and had a lovely day at the pumpkin patch.
