Have Heart!
Hayley
...Roll, Serve, Celebrate, Dream, and Love!
Boosters, help OHVA families near you gather and engage at a Face to Face Event hosted by YOU!
You can do monthly events from October through February, a few events, or just one event.
One or more - monthly or just one! January and February events are needed!
If you need help, here are some monthly themes that match our 7 Mindsets for each month:
Possible Ideas:
- January theme - THIS IS HOW WE DREAM (think artistic field trips in your area like museums, art and dance studios, libraries with free craft times).
- February theme - THIS IS HOW WE LOVE (think about a fun place to host a Valentine's party with families in your area, like a library community room or a pizza parlor).
Remember, these are just suggestions! Any event - any month - supports our families!
