Our Annual Child Care Appreciation Dinner for the Home Child Care Association, here in Huntsville, AL, will be celebrated on May 10, 2005. My name is Earlene Mitchell, and I am the new President for the Madison County Home Child Care Association. This is our third year in hosting this event for the Providers. It will be held at the Greenbrier Restaurant on I-565 in Madison, Alabama, from 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Each provider will be receiving a special gift, and we will be honoring a number of special guests who work in the childcare field, as well as honoring our Childcare Provider of the Year. We are excited about this event, and we want to thank you for the opportunity to share with others about what is happening in our area. Earlene Mitchell.

South Highland Child Development Center, Birmingham, AL: We will be celebrating provider appreciation day for the first time this year on May 7, 2004. We have ordered pins for the teachers as well as certificates. We have also ordered a banner that will hang during that whole week. We will purchase lunch for the staff and I will raffle off gifts during the week. We will provide butcher paper and place on wall near each classroom so parents can write why their child´s teacher is so important to them. Some of our board members will come to the center pass out certificates and shake hands and meet the teachers. For information, contact Wilma Smith at: wsmith@shpcbhm.org.
