Last year was the first annual South Berwick Kids' Day, a small group of community members gathered around a simple idea of creating a day for kids and their family that didn't have to be about money. It was intended to create a day in which kids could gather, be active, be entertained, be healthy, be amused, and be generous to themselves and others all while knowing they were part of a community who cares. We had no idea what the level of interest would be from the kids or the business and organizations and held our breath as we waited for the first Everything Wheels Parade to reach Central School. We were told through numerous approximations that over 2000 showed up for the first event. We are just a month away and the anticipation for the second annual event in South Berwick has grown past any early expectation.
A special thank you and deep appreciation to the South Berwick Eliot Rotary for recognizing the level of positive impact Kids' Day had on the community last year and their belief in what it can achieve this year and well into the future. They have stepped forward to take our small little group under its wing of altruism and provide us with a safety net to assure the continuance on Kids' Day through the support of their members volunteering and their providing insurance for the day.
Our hats off to The South Berwick Eliot Rotary!
