Fun Fest 2013

Wilshire Park’s answer to the winter blues.  Mark your calendars for Friday, February 1.Our current chair, Angela Martin, remembers this event fondly from when she was a young girl at Wilshire Park. That is a long standing tradition of games, food, prizes, bouncers and more!!  We will also be adding the teacher raffles into this year’s event.

I want to say thank you in advance to Angela for chairing this event for the past few years.  This is her last year as her youngest will be moving on to SA Middle School next year.  Angela, your organization and passion for Fun Fest will be hard shoes to fill!! This event is a community enrichment event and a great way to meet other families. Fun Fest needs more than 200 volunteers to make it happen, so we will need your help.  Last year for the first time ever, we closed several games early due to lack of parent volunteers.  Please consider volunteering; sign-up sheets will go home in January.

Thank you!

Conference Meals:  Thank you, Melissa Nelson for again coordinating the conference meals so effortlessly!  Thank you to Holy Land, Barley John’s and Oceanaire for donating conference meals.  We also want to thank Chow Girls catering for feeding our fabulous teachers for a ‘deal’!  All was appreciated!  A special thank you to all the families that helped coordinate the set-up and clean-up of the meals and to those that provided desserts.

Movie & Bingo Night:  Thank you to our event chairs Katie Gillard,  Margarey Zweifelhofer and Connie Berquist for coordinating another successful Movie Night!  Thanks to Mat Lundgren who managed all the "technical" details.The Lorax was a hit with the kids and our parents enjoyed playing Bingo with Pam Metcalf & crew.  Thank you all for your time.
