KICKS Challenge: Spring Into Action

Happy Spring, KICKS Community!

At last, the winter is waning and the weather is wonderful! Spring has sprung and the snow has melted, so what better excuse is there to get outside of your house and volunteer!

Next month, a group of KICKS volunteers will be lending a hand to a very worthy charity event called “Kids Fest” in Philadelphia (3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19104) and we invite you to come along and show support for a wonderful cause. The Festival will take place Thursday, April 7 through Saturday April 9, 2011, more details can be found at: http://www.idealist.org/view/volop/jxszjfpDksCp
