Celebration of Champions Recognition Dinner April 8 |
A champion isn't always the winner of a competition, but rather someone who has a dazzling skill or fights gallantly for a group of people, or sometimes a group  of children.
It's those champions that Camp Fire USA First Texas Council, together with Fort Worth Area Association for the Education of Young Children, honors each year with a dinner and awards ceremony. This year's celebration will be held on April 8, 2010 at the Sheraton Hotel and Spa in downtown Fort Worth. The Fifth Annual Celebration of Champions will recognize the early childhood professional who aids in the raising and development of tens-of-thousands of area children ages birth to five.
Dr. Adolph Brown III, noted teacher and motivational speaker, will again be the keynote speaker and is someone not to be missed.
In addition to the key note address and entertainment, multiple awards will be given based on nominations from parents, early childhood teachers and administrators in Tarrant County.
Early care and education is the foundation for all future growth. Like the construction of a building, one must begin with a solid foundation. With your help, we can build a strong educational foundation in Tarrant County. That will be a Celebration of Champions!
Reserve your seat today and invite a friend to attend! The event costs only $8 for child care professionals and $40 per non-child care professionals. The RSVP form is available online or you may RSVP to Lydia Tovar at LydiaT@CampFireFW.org or 817-831- 2111, ext. 160. |
