We had a great picnic for our big "family" tonight of foster parents, foster children, staff, families in general at Jackson Park in Vienna. I am sure tomorrow there will be some pictures!!! This was a great event; with much hard work put in by a LOT of people to make it a fantastic success. The weather held up great, no rain! There were a number of prayers and positive thoughts put out there, and they came through! The food was plentiful and diverse; perfect picnic fare! There were all ages, and the playground was a hit, the "cornhole" game, some basketball, and lots of good stuff. People mingled around and made new acquaintances, and felt the feeling of togetherness and support that our collective work with children brings.
Carna did a great job spearheading the effort, and the VISTA gals, and Sandy, all did great jobs soliciting community support; the staff came out in great numbers and worked hard at the event with the grilling, preparing, and clean up!!! The foster parents all got certificates and gifts, and the pinata was a tough one to break, but once it did, it set the kids scrambling for goodies. All in all, a great event to further our foster care work here from the Parkersburg site!!!!!
