March 14, Kinship's Annual Volunteer Recognition Banquet



A very busy day of appearances started with taking my mentee to our volunteer recognition banquet, where they took the theme of my platform "Become a Hero: Mentor a child" and asked all volunteers to dress up as superheroes. I dressed as Mrs Mn and one Mentor said "Great costume!" It's true that the crown and banner and gown are a costume of a certain type of hero: a Beauty Queen or Princess! The little boys and girls there rushed over to get pictures with me and to have me sign my autograph cards for them. Tyiteana felt very special to have her Mentor be a "princess".

A Magician performed and Tyiteana made a beautiful frame for the picture of us we had taken.
