May 20th Birthday Club Meeting at Children's Shelter



On May 20th, 10 members of the Birthday Club met at the Florida Keys Children's Shelter. The children represented the Key Largo School and the Academy at Ocean Reef. Unfortunately, a new member from Island Christian School had to cancel last minute.

The children discussed issues facing the residents and ways in which to spend their gift. The suggestions were gift cards, pizza, yoga mats, wii games and movies.

Attending the meeting was a representative from the Florida Keys Youth Sports Foundation who offered to help the residents get involved with after school sports programs like football, basketball and cheerleading.

The next visit is planned for December.
