Good evening everyone! I am taking my kids to participate in the Bright Smiles Bowl-a-thon. The proceeds benefit the Virginia Beach Community Trust so that adults in my city who have mental retardation can get dental care, which is not covered by medicaid. Many adults with MR have a monthly income under $600. Additionally if they reside in a group home all but $30 a month goes to the facility for room and board. The $30 remaining is for personal heigene items.
My son is 8 and has mental retardation. I am assisting him in participating so that he can practice various skills (social, communication, gross motor, sensory integration, etc). Why am I telling you this? I am willing to release some books at the bowling alley in exchange for sponsorship. I also have a few books that I could send in exchange for sponsorship. Each team's goal is to raise a minimum of $200. Please sponsor us if you can. E-mail me if you interested. Available books: Stitches in Time by Barbara Michaels; My sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews; Black Beauty by Anna Sewell adapted by Deidre Laiken; Why the chicken Crossed the Road by David Macaulay (children's picture book). Thanks in advance for helping people with disabilities, Renee [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
