Conference.

DHS workers and the Family Resource employers came by and supported the campaign. I think our group enjoyed setting things up and watching the people come by to get the educational information, get their face painted, and eat cake from Creative Cakes. We thought the event was a hit with the community, colleagues and community partners.

We will be asking local businesses to promote our campaign by serving some type of blue drink for the entire month of April and donate funds to our local Boys and Girls clubs.
Our group met at Fair Park to set up for a large crowd considering we were in with the Stop the Hurt Conference. It was an estimated number of 50-60 people showed up to support this campaign. Many have not heard of the campaign called Kool- Aid with Kids and were

    For my speech over foster care, I expected people to know what foster care was, but not to know very much about it.
