It is hard to believe that summer time is here once again but as the weather has warmed up, I find myself looking forward to the longer days filled with fun activities for all of us. This summer we have already set our calendar with activities such as going to the Hollywood Bowl for a concert and art workshop to follow for children and their parents. In August we are planning our annual beach trip for a fun filled day at Zuma beach. The staff is busy planning trips for individual families who want to participate in going on outings with their children while they are off for summer vacation.
The foundation is also sending a number of children to day camp to keep children busy and thriving as well as giving their parents a break from the rigors of parenting now that school is out for several weeks and there is no summer school. Summer is truly a time for creating memories for both children and their parents and we are very happy to be part of making this happen.
