Make
a Difference Day is Saturday,
October 24, 2009.
This is a national day of doing
good that happens every fall and spring. This project
recognize the contribution of young people serving
their community and includes students who perhaps
have not yet become involved in developing their
community building skills. Teams of students from
the Saginaw County area, representing their schools,
along with staff and master gardeners plants flowers,
paint, construct and do other necessary projects
at local parks, home, and other facilities in the
Saginaw County areas. This years project was made
possible by a generous
grant from the Home Depot/Kaboom Playground Renovation Blitz Program.
This project is part of the Saginaw County's Promise supported by the Saginaw
Community Foundation, Youth FORCE, the United Way of Saginaw
County, Michigan State University Extension, the Child Abuse and Neglect Council,
Boys and Girls Club of Saginaw County, the Saginaw Intermediate Schools District,
and many other
organizations.
This is a wonderful program and Key Club has been doing these projects twice
a year since the program first started. Key Club started in 1998. |
