Thanks

Making
"Kids Day" extra special for kids, parents
and our Peterborough Community
"Kids
Day" 2007 2nd year annual event
was a great success once again. We had 3,000 kids
and parents taking part on Sat.
May 12th at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness
Centre. The goal was providing children
with educational, interactive, fun workshops that
raise awareness about health, safety and the environment.
Thank
You and your business or organization, for making
"Kids Day" free event extra special for
kids, parents and our Peterborough Community.
We could not do it without
all your generous Sponsorship Support by providing
financial, services, interactive workshops, products
and gift certificates for "Kids
Day" another
successful year behind us. We have had excellent
feedback about "Kids
Day" 2007 over
the last couple of weeks from sponsors, interactive
workshops, kids and parents.
Five new businesses are already interested in doing
an interactive workshop for "Kids Day"
2008.
I
would like to give a special thanks to TD
Canada Trust, joining us as a major Sponsor
for "Kids Day"
2007, Ivy
McGregor, Branch Manager, at the Peterborough Square
and TDCT
Volunteers helping out for the day.

Trust is an outdoor enthusiast, young
at heart and known for her work with a number of
TD Canada Trust Children Charities in the Peterborough
Community and now "Camp
Kawartha".
"Kids
Day" raised $2,717.00
through both a jump-start and donation boxes.
TD Canada Trust, Ivy McGregor,

Sponsored and Partnered
with "Kids Day". For TD Canada
Trust Children Charities this year with "Kids
Day", proceeds
go to
"Camp Kawartha", a non-profit
organization dedicated to outdoor adventure programs
and camp life. Kids have been
chosen from Kawartha Haliburton Children's Aid Society
and Big Brothers and Big Sisters to go to "Camp
Kawartha". We have booked 6 spots for
3 Girls and 3 Boys to go to Nature/Summer camp at
"Camp Kawartha" for 4 nights and 3 days
in August. This is a great opportunity for the kids
to experience camp life, meet new friends and explore
hands-on nature. See "Camp
