The 2010 Park Party season is officially over and it’s been incredible!! This summer we have served over 30,000 kids and families by providing free food and free fun in six locations around West Michigan. I want to thank every person that participated in the events. I also want to thank my co-workers, the college interns, city officials and volunteers from every location for assisting in making each event special.

Fred Patten is having an extra special Father’s Day this year. With the help of Bethany Christian Services, Fred and his wife have expanded their family!
This weekend on “Where You Live” we’re celebrating babies!! It’s a super sweet show you’re not going to want to miss! We visit the Spectrum Health Family Birth Center to meet some new moms and their newborns (they are so precious!). We’ll get some expert advise from Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital experts on safe sleep for infants. Priority Health wellness friends will share simple workouts to do at home with baby and you can check out all the latest in baby gear at Meijer! Plus, we have a tender story of a local family that recently adopted a toddler from Haiti through Bethany Christian Services. It’s a heart warming story for sure!! And a Pine Rest Christian Services therapist shares insights for all parents on making children feel like an important part of the family. We’ll also announce our 2010 Park Party schedule! It’s a big show this weekend, “Where You Live” Saturday at 7:30 a.m. and p.m. on WOTV 4 and 6:30 p.m. on WOOD TV 8.
In this weekend’s show we introduced you to Bethann and Jeri who were connected through Bethany Christian Services. Bethany is always looking for mentors to work with teenagers who are in their foster care program. You don’t have to change your life to change someone elses. All it takes is being a positive role model and a friend to someone in need. For ways to get involved visit www.bethany.org.
