Kiwanis Reading Rug provided to
Child Development Association
by Historic Roswell Kiwanis
Youngsters at the Child Development Association of North Fulton (CDA) will have a new place to read thanks to Historic Roswell Kiwanis.
A special Kiwanis "Reading Rug" was purchased and donated to the CDA in July of 2007. Children at the center will now be able to sit on the colorful rug and enjoy reading and being read to.
The Kiwanis Reading Rug was a project of the Community Services Committee of Historic Roswell Kiwanis. Kiwanian Judy Allen serves as chair of the Community Services Committee. Kiwanian Sherry Binkley serves as Chairman of the Child Development Association.
Historic Roswell Kiwanis is an active partner with the Child Development Association of North Fulton, conducting several events yearly for the children served there, and conducting hands-on projects to improve the facility. Additionally, Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell is a financial supporter of this important part of Roswell’s social services.
The Association was founded in 1967 by a group of concerned citizens after a young North Fulton child died of malnutrition. Its primary purpose both then and now was to provide quality care for children from low income working families. Today the Association serves more than 300 children and their families annually in its nationally accredited child care programs, and also operates the North Fulton Human Service Center that houses other area non-profit agencies.
Osmony and Kiwanian Roger Lamprey enjoy a giggle while Child Development clients Freddie, Lupita Miranda, and Kiwanian Sherry Binkley look on.
Kiwanians Larry Hardiman, David Holihan, Roger Lamprey and Sherry Binkley join David, Freddie, Lupita Miranda and Osmony to try out the new Kiwanis Reading Rug.
