St. Patrick's Day Family Festival San Diego
AO was invited to participate in the parade that will take place on Saturday March 14, 2009. This year the theme is Celebrating Children’s Services: Adoption, Fostering, and Mentoring. The Parade begins at 11 am at 6th and Juniper.
This event will be a wonderful opportunity for AO to make the public aware of our work, international adoptions, and bring out our families and volunteers for a fun day. After the parade, roam about the festival area and visit vending booths with assortments of Irish and other goods, information booths, food vendors, and kid’s zone.
If you are interested in participating in the parade while representing AO, please contact Lori Weiner at (619) 249-7772 or lori@adoption-options.org. We will send out more information regarding this event via email.
