YMCA of Sohomish County to host annual Healthy Kids' Day on April 16 Healthy Kids Day is the Y's national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families across the country. On April 16, Ys hold events and encourages parents to make play dates with their kids every day as a simple way to become a healthier, more active and connected family. The Y knows that many parents struggle to find the time and resources to incorporate physical activity and healthy habits into their kids' daily routine. As a leading nonprofit for healthy living, the Y created Healthy Kids Day to celebrate and teach good health for kids, encourage active play and inspire a lifetime love of physical activity. As a business owner in the Mill Creek community, the Mill Creek branch of the Y is looking for support of our Healthy Kids Day in the following ways: 1. Provide resources, if your business has a focus on kids, families, or health (and we have a broad definition of health) through an activity booth or information table at the event. 2. Provide volunteers for the event! Last year, there were over 500 participants and more are expected this year, so they Y needs event volunteers to help direct cars, check in, run activity booths, help keep the Y clean, answer questions, etc. 3. Donations for give-aways for participants. They often like to do freebies for guests through drawings. For more information contact Zemorah Murray Director of Membership & Marketing YMCA OF SNOHOMISH COUNTY | MILL CREEK FAMILY BRANCH by calling 425-357-3032 or e-mail zmurray@ymca-snoco.org Blazing Onion's Store #4 at Alderwood Mall is underway Demolition is complete and construction has begun at Alderwood Mall.
