The Countdown Begins

I must admit that ever since I agreed to have a Kids are Heroes Day at the FSK Mall I have been becoming more and more obsessed about it.  After all, this is a wonderful opportunity for all the “heroes” involved, especially MaryMargaret.  Whatever becomes of this website I am convinced that it will open many doors for her.  The marketing department at the mall tentatively agreed to make this a yearly event.  I wonder how far we will have progressed by next year.  This is part of the fun of having it.  Nonetheless I do believe the website will continue to have a positive effect on children in the Frederick area and beyond.  We are just about to recognize John Sun, who is an eight year old boy who has been diligently working most of the summer on his project to create gift baskets for families with premature babies.  We are proud of his accomplishments to date and to come, and are also a little boastful that our website had something to do with his development.

Anyway, the fountain coin project starts on Monday – we will be there to take pictures.  As mentioned, for a year (excluding November and December) the fountain coins at the mall will go to one hero’s charity each month and September kicks off with MaryMargaret getting the coins for the Frederick County Animal Shelter.  And the big day is Saturday, September 6th.  All we can hope for is a good turn out and for everything to go smoothly.  I’m sure that both these wishes will come true.
