Wow – it’s seriously been a really long time since we’ve posted here. There’s been a lot going on, what with volunteers helping out, kids being moved up into new classrooms as they’ve gotten older, and then we lost one our founding mothers, Freda Blecher, just a few weeks ago. I’m sure we’ll be talking more about Freda’s contribution to VICCC soon – she was one of a kind.
One thing I’ve been meaning to post for a while though, is the video from the ribbon cutting ceremony in August. We had a great time, and wanted to share it with you here:
We are SO excited! We’ve finally gotten all of the kids, the equipment, the staff – EVERYTHING – into the new facility and we can’t wait to show it off! There have been hundreds, maybe even thousands, of volunteer hours contributed to this herculean effort, and it has paid off. The walls are painted, the playground is awesome, and the kids are as happy as can be to be under one roof!
If you’re so inclined, PLEASE be our guest at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new center this Wednesday at 11am. We’d love to show off our new home, as well as introduce you to some of the incredible staff and volunteers who make all of this possible. Directions can be found here, and light refreshments will be served.
Welcome to the VICCC blog, we thank you for stopping by!
The Valley Interfaith Child Care Center – we just like to call it VICCC, for short – is a very special place. With dozens of kids running around, dedicated volunteers, and exciting projects coming up, there’s a lot to talk about, and so we thought this blog might be that place to share some of the joys – and sometimes sorrows – of working with little ones.
We hope you enjoy reading, and that you’ll come back in the future! For now …
