June Newsletter 2023
Teri Ann Cox
Executive Director of The Children’s Center
Dear Center Families,
An important annual fundraiser for us that occurs this month is the NH Gives campaign. Hosted by the NH Center for Nonprofits, this organized online platform brings together tens of thousands of donors to raise as much money and awareness as possible for the non-profits that give so much to their communities every day. This year the campaign occurs on June 6th and 7th and once again, the Fiske Family Foundation has pledged to match up to $5,000 in donations. Every dollar given will be doubled, resulting in the hope that we can raise $10,000 in this short 24-hour window.
Please help the Center in this fundraising effort by sharing our posts about the event on social media. If you are not on Facebook or Instagram, you can share the link https://www.nhgives.org/organizations/wolfeboro-area-children-s-center with friends and family via email or text.
The monies raised this year will go towards a very special cause. Ethan, a Children’s Center alumni, is going for his Eagle Scout badge and has chosen the Center to be the beneficiary of his Eagle Scout Project, which includes grading and adding artificial turf in the entry area to the playgrounds. The resurfacing will provide better drainage and create a mud-free, rock-free, and safer space as we come and go. We greatly appreciate your support getting the word out – and helping Ethan with his generous project.
June is also known as the month for Dads and Grads, and we certainly do commemorate preschool graduation for those heading off to kindergarten! The Dragonflies will graduate on Wednesday, June 14th, our Magic Moments preschoolers will celebrate on Thursday, June 15th, and the Playful Penguins will have their ceremony on Friday, June 16th. For those of you recognizing this special milestone with your child, I know it can be one filled with emotion. I remember my son wearing his red cap and proudly accepting his scroll when he “graduated” from Union Hill Day School in Kansas City years ago. Enjoy these sweet moments! And for all our dads out there, all the best on Father’s Day, June 18th.
Sincerely,
Teri Ann
