 This program
ran
August 18-22, 2008, based at the Community Hall
with an awesome turn-out of up to
18 kids and several parents and grandparents! The whole community stepped up
to the plate to make this a memorable experience for the children of Texada.
Thanks to all who helped in too many ways to mention. This only works when
we all pitch in!
It takes a whole community to raise a child!
