September Party Update

Just a quick note to let you know that our party last night went very well! The kids enjoyed shopping with their tickets to make up their own goody bags. Everyone loved playing Bingo, making crafts and scarecrow cookies, too.
A special thanks to all of the Caring Candles volunteers who came to help out to make everything run smoothly!

August Party Update

Last night's party was a great success! All six birthday kids had a great time and LOVED their presents, balloons and badges -- all of the extra things we do to help make the birthday kids feel extra special! We also got to work with new people from Hope House for the first time --- it was a very positive exchange all around. One of the new changes is that all of the moms and kids wore name tags, which was very helpful for us. We look forward to working with all of them to make the parties even better for the kids and our volunteers.

July Party Update

Just a quick note to let you know that we had a "whale" of a good time last night at our sea-themed birthday party! Special thanks to all of our volunteers who came to decorate, play and help with crafts, cake and clean-up. You're the best!

June Party Update

Wow! What a wild night: we started with a monsoon and it didn't let up from there--we stayed very busy all evening. Everyone seemed to have a good time, as usual, and that's what counts! A special thanks to all of the Caring Candles volunteers who braved flooded roads and soggy shoes to come out and party with us!
