Has your club planned your FUN activity for the upcoming Adoption Awareness Carnival on Saturday May 17th? 
 
Every year 28,000 children in foster care leave the system without ever finding a permanent family to call their own.  Nothing more impacts the life of a child than having a permanent, loving family.  As Rotarians, let's reach out and help children in the North Texas foster care system, find their forever families by providing a fun filled event where these children and prospective parents can meet and get to know each other.
 
It's as simple as 1 -2-3
1.  Plan a "carnival booth" type activity for your club to host.
2.  Contact Leslie Clay at lesliewclay@gmail.com and tell her your plans.
3.  Show up on Saturday May 17th in Grand Prairie and have fun!
  • All Rotarians MUST have a newly completed CPS Texas Background Check verified before the Carnival
