For all of you last minute decision makers – and you know who you are – the deadline to get Convention rates for our hotel rooms in Omaha is Monday, August 19th! Register today! Find all the information you need at www.nationalchristchild.org. See you there!
Speaking of gathering in Omaha, did you know that the Omaha chapter is 118 years young? Formed in 1906, it was the first chapter outside of Washington DC. They last hosted a Convention in the late 1930’s.
Mary Virginia Merrick addressed the 1954 National Convention with these words, “The purpose remains the same throughout these many years- to serve the needs of children which explains the varying activities to help the whole child, to spiritual and physical development. To accomplish this volunteer service is emphasized.”
Yes indeed... "Nothing is ever too much to do for a child." Mary Virginia Merrick, Founder
