EVENTS

Our August, 2006 event for 4^th ID soldiers’ families was a great success. The families arrived at the Dallas Embassy Suites near the Galleria Saturday morning, then immediately drove to the Plaza Park Salons in Plano for their makeovers. The children had fun at Chuck E. Cheese’s right down the street from the salon location, while their moms enjoyed lunch from Jason’s Deli and makeovers including makeup, massage, hair, and nails.  

Children at Chuck E Cheese:

The beauty volunteers from Plaza Park did a wonderful job on the ladies’ hair and nails while a crew from Arbonne Cosmetics helped the women with their makeup. Local massage therapists offered relaxing chair massages.

Makeovers:

 After a few hours of shopping or lounging by the pool, the ladies were treated to an appreciation dinner and style show put on by Patty Logan and volunteer models who looked beautiful in clothes from Rebekah’s Fashion.  

Meanwhile, our hardworking nursery volunteers were caring for the babies while their big brothers and sisters were enjoying hot dogs, making cards for their Dads, and being entertained by the clowns from Merrymakers.

 The Nursery

 The families returned home the following day, a little more refreshed and able to handle the challenges that all deployed soldiers’ loved ones face on a day-to-day basis.  

A big thanks to all the nursery volunteers and those who helped entertain the children. A special thanks goes out to Merrymakers, the clowns who gave their time on Saturday night to make the kids’ time in Dallas special.
