First Meeting!

Today was our first meeting! The kids voted and decided on the name "Service Stars." We had a great showing of 21 kids! The ages ranging from 11 to 2. Kim and I were so excited to have our dream come to fruition.

Kim talked to the kids about the definition of service, why is it important and how great it feels inside to give it. We played a game to get to know everyone then broke into smaller groups to brainstorm service ideas. There were some great responses! Some of them included,

- Neighborhood yardwork/shoveling/raking
- Collect money for the poor
- Help the elderly
- Doing dishes without being asked
- Visit the animal shelter
- Clean the park
- Tie quilts
- Give to the food shelter
- Make cookies for neighbors
- Write letters to the armed forces
- Make cards for someone sick

Way to go kids!! Can't wait to serve with you!
