Benefit for foster grandparent program Saturday

When Annie Mae Kirkpatrick first became involved with Community Action of Southern Kentucky’s Foster Grandparent program, it was because she was, frankly, a little bored.
“That was 10 years ago. I’m still in the program and I feel like this is what God meant for me to do,” Kirkpatrick said. “I don’t have children of my own, but I love these children like they were mine. They’ve certainly made a difference in my life.”
Kirkpatrick currently volunteers with the program at Barren County Head Start and has been involved in the lives of many children who have “meant a lot” to her.
The program will host its inaugural fundraiser, A Mid-Summer Night’s Dance, Saturday, at the Jaycee Pavillion at Lampkin Park in Bowling Green.
Activities include dancing, refreshments, music, a dance contest and door prizes. Music will be provided by Juice Groove, a Bowling Green band.
Rober Chinn, program director said: “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dance is a wonderful opportunity for family and friends to get together, put on their dancing shoes and take steps to help the Foster Grandparent Program.”
The program matches senior adults with special or exceptional needs children in schools, Head Start programs and other approved facilities.
A tax-free stipend, transportation reimbursement and monthly trainings are provided for people 60 and older who qualify.
The program is part of Community Action of Southern Kentucky, a non-profit agency providing programs throughout the Barren River Area Development District. Funding comes in part from the Corporation for National and Community Service and United Way.
Tickets for the dance are $20 per person and $15 for seniors. They will be available for purchase at the door.
Information on the event is available by calling 782-3162.
All proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Foster Grandparent program.
