Big week for the SMILE Program

First of all, we love that picture below...if that doesn't bring a smile to your face...you should think about getting some rest!

The program is seeing some great strides this summer, thanks in large part to the summer staff we have in place. We are so fortunate to have our program run through a university with so many young, eager and bright students here to help out. Surround yourself with the right people and great things will happen...exhibit A = 30 YEARS OF THE SMILE PROGRAM!!! We're doing something right and the people have 90% to do with that!

This week we have been invited to be part of the Axemen Hockey dinner which takes place annually at the Acadia Arena. Shana and Alyssa (awesome summer students) are going to be on site giving away 25 tickets to the Chris Crowley Event!!! The tickets have been purchased by the Axemen Hockey Team. Coach Darren Burns, an Acadia Alum and former Leader in the SMILE program, has been more than generous during his tenure with the Axemen. You can always bet that half a dozen Axemen players volunteer with the program each year!

Shana and Alyssa will also have a booth set up promoting the SMILE program, introducing the friends of SMILE program and Donor of the Day program. Great initiatives to reconnect with the SMILE alumni and SMILE community.

Chris Crowley will be here Sunday to talk to us about healthy living and an active lifestyle. Tickets are only $5 with a free will offering at the door. 100% of the proceeds will go to the SMILE program. Get you tickets from the Box office at Acadia or Box of Delights in Wolfville!! 350 tickets have been sold to this event, which promises to be very powerful!

Stay in touch!
