Dear Playmakers!

April 27 through May 3 , 2008 is National Volunteer Week! As a Playmaker this is a perfectly playful opportunity to promote play in your neighborhood. Your children and community will be so thankful and benefit from your efforts. Here are a couple of ways for you to take action:

• Upload a playspace near you in our fabulous Playspace Finder. This is a national database of playspaces and is great way to help others in your community know where your playful places are!

• Organize a clean-up at your local playspace. A great way to ensure that your playspaces are a safe and healthy environment for your kids.

• Take your family friend’s and/or neighborhood kids for some supervised play time at your local playspace! Take a look at these playful activity ideas.

We would love to hear what you did to promote play during National Volunteer Week. Post on the KaBOOM! Forum or e-mail Brooke Bennett at bbennett@kaboom.org.
