DONATION TO SUNBEAMS ( Early Childhood Resouces program )

At our March 08, 2012 meeting, a donation cheque was presented to Loretta Hannah of Leduc County ECR ( Early Childhood Resources ) for the laudable Sunbeams program. She gave an informative talk on ways that Sunbeams assists and supports children aged 4 - 8 who are under distress from various circumstances such as family deaths, divorce, illness etc. Kids are able to get into a play, education, conversational, understanding and healing atmosphere to help them cope. It augments and gives another voice to the efforts of their own family members at such a critical stage in a child's development.
