How exciting is that??? And, yes we will be celebrating Connor's birthday with this very special event. So bittersweet! Such an amazing weekend in so many ways.
The Book Fair is such an awesome event! It's so fun to share in the enjoyment of the kids and families, to be part of all the giving and helping other kids! I can't even tell you how much it means to us, and how special it is for all of our volunteers to be part of this! If you have not come to the Book Fair in the past, please make it a priority this year, or take part in it, in another way! It is so rewarding! You'll be so glad you did!
