Young Friends of the
Forest
We
are proud to announce
the launch of our new
initiative for young
supporters of
Dragonfly Forest,
called Young Friends of
the Forest - a fantastic
way for kids to get
involved in helping
other kids! The program
is designed for middle
school, high school and
college age kids.
Already, we have Young
Friends who are making a
difference!
One Young Friend hosted
a Sunday Dinner for her
friends and family. The
result is that a core
group of girls from the
Main Line area are now
working to produce a
student run fashion show
to benefit
Dragonfly Forest.
The fashion show is
under development for
the beginning of the
2006-2007 school year.
Look for more
information coming soon.
A Pottstown school
district representative
met with the school
superintendent who
committed to introducing
Dragonfly Forest
to their middle and high
school service
organizations.
A Chester County school
district representative
has committed to
introducing
opportunities with Young
Friends of the Forest to
all middle and high
schools in the District.
A Young Friend of the
Forest "turned lemons
into lemonade" by
getting her friends and
family to sponsor her
time in detention to
raise money for
Dragonfly Forest.
(Since she had quite a
few detention hours, she
was able to raise over
$2,000!)
Another Young Friend of
the Forest selected
Dragonfly Forest
as her Mitzvah project
for her Bat Mitzvah. She
was able to raise a
campership ($2,000) to
send a child to camp!
A local church named one
Sunday Dragonfly Forest
Day, and all collections
from a special offering
went to raise
camperships to send kids
to camp.
