KIDS DAY MINNESOTA (GOLDEN VALLEY, MN)

My friend Becky Ringen - Miss Minnesota International 2006 coordinated a terrific event called Kids Day Minnesota, which is a day for kids to be celebrated and to have fun while in a positive and healthy environment. Some of the various activities included a reading room where Minnesota celebrities were guest readers, crafts, games, an open gym, live music, and many photo opportunities. I was one of the featured speakers and gave a presentation on Child Safety Education & Abduction Prevention (I am the most senior ranking member of the Jacob Wetterling Foundation Speaker's Bureau). A great time was had by all...congratulations to Becky for doing such a great job for this worthwhile cause!
