Something New for the Family

  United Way of Robeson County did something a little different this year.  As a second leg to the ever popular Day of Caring, they added a family volunteer day.  Families gathered at Bigs Park Mall in the morning to get their family volunteer assignments and headed out to complete them.  Upon returning to the mall they were greeted with one heck of a welcome.
  United Way along with various United Way agencies set up a a child friendly fun event lead by the Robeson County partnership for children.  There were games, a bouncy house, activities, and so much more.  Youth could spin a wheel an answer health questions to win a cup at the WOW bus.  the Red Cross had coloring books, Community in Schools had some fun family board games, and 4-H worked with the youth to make personalized bookmarks.
  Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy lunch off the grill made by members of the Kiwanis.  T and L characters were on hand for photos and dancing opportunities.  At the end each family registered that morning had their name dropped in a bowl for a drawing for tickets to Disney World.  Now that's what we call a motivator!
