What a wonderful feeling I had leaving the Duluth Town Green today. I wouldn't have traded that opportunity for anything. The sparkle in the eyes of those children with their contagious laughter and smiles are still with me and will remain in my heart forever. How fortunate our society is to be blessed with people like yourself and your Mother who devote your lives for such an awesome cause. I am impressed by your organization and team of volunteers that brought together an event like today. It is beyond question that the children had a blast!
I visited your website tonight and will be signing up for other upcoming events. The self gratification that came from being a part of The Foster Children's Foundation today was priceless.

Thank you,
Denisia

Thank you for all of the time, effort, and passion that you put into making the 2006 Easter Eggstravaganza for foster children so wonderful. We are truly blessed to work with such caring individuals as you. Thank you to the Junior Executive Committee (JEC) for their outstanding job planning, organizing, and executing this event. The children who joined us for the event loved everything about it and cannot wait until next year!
Many of the children who come to the Foster Children’s Foundation events are experiencing fear, mistrust, and sadness in their lives, but because of you, they were able to put their worries aside yesterday and have a great afternoon of fun with people who truly care about them. Each and every one of you worked very hard to put this event together! Many foster families came up to us as the event was coming to a close, and expressed their sincere gratitude for your efforts and caring to make it a special day for the children. You are all born leaders. Your positive outlook on life and desire to make a difference in the community is unmatched. You have each laid the path for young adults to follow in your footsteps and get involved to make such a positive difference in the community. The FCF is proud to know that you are our future leaders!

Sincere thanks also to all the wonderful volunteers who worked side by side with the JEC to make this event a great success!
A special thanks to Party City, Juniors Girl Scout troop # 1163, members of the Jr. League of Gwinnett and North Fulton, Magnificent clowns from Clown Alley, Atlanta Special Events, Sign A Rama (Duluth) and students from area High Schools, The Soda Shoppe, Printing Trade Company and the many volunteers. A special thanks also to the City of Duluth and Duluth Mayor Shirley Lasseter who every year is there to officially start the Easter Egg Hunt.

Thank you for making this a very special day for foster children. A day they will treasure forever.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for the support that you have continually provided for Timothy. Most recently, Suzanne Geske began teaching Timothy guitar when he expressed an interest in learning to play. Then Clay Smith, a student volunteer got involved and not only provided a guitar lesson for Timothy, but arranged for him to get a brand new guitar!!! This means a lot to Timothy and me.

Beyond the fact that music is important for kids is the fact that Timothy has trouble expressing his feelings. Playing the guitar will provide a more comfortable, less threatening way for him to let some of these feelings out.

Thank you, foster children's foundation, for all you do for the children in care!

Just wanted to let you know that the kids had a wonderful time at camp last week. It was quite an experience for all three of them. They thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and are asking to go next year! They made lots of new friends and learned so many new things. Thanks so much for EVERYTHING you do for us. You're the best!
