I first want to say that I am so blessed to be part of Forrest Burdette Children's Outreach Ministries. We have a wonderful, committed staff and families that strongly support our ministry.
We are gearing up for a fun-filled summer with our Little Learning Zoo preschool and Summer Safari school age children programs which will begin on June 5th. To start the summer fun, we are having a Family Fun Day on Friday, May 19th, at Hurricane City Park (11:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m.).
We are also excited to announce that "Forrest Burdette Children's Outreach Ministries" now has a Facebook page. This will be an excellent tool for advertisement and an efficient way to inform everyone of upcoming events and general information regarding the programs.
Looking forward to a wonderful summer!
Vicki Jacobs, COM Director
