April:
The Hands on Learning Fair is put on each year to promote learning and activity
for children 0-7 years old. We had a booth for the 4th year in a
row. We had lots of excited kids having fun with our "Wizard of
Oz" themed booth. All of our activities related to the nervous system
and helped to teach kids about their bodies. Each year, children are
chosen to sign the proclamation with the Mayor to proclaim the day "Kids
Day." This year, our daughter Hannah was chosen to sign the
document. She got a key to the city and was very excited! Then she
was interviewed for the news--a very exciting day!
December/January:
We got in the Christmas Spirit outside and inside the office. Food was
collected for the local food cupboards and went a long way to helping make
Christmas more merry for our community--thank you! We hope you had a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year!
November:
This was our 3rd time decorating a tree for the annual Festival of Trees at
the Columbia Mall. The program is run by the Listen Center and the
decorated trees go to families who cannot afford to have a Christmas tree.
Our theme was "Home Sweet Home".
October:
This is our 4th annual time doing Trick-or-treating at the Grand Cities
mall. We handed out over 3,000 pieces of candy!
September:
Opening of McSparron Family Chiropractic at its new location. Open
House and Food Drive was a great success!
August:
Before we were even open, we held a Breastfeeding "Nurse In".
The Grand Forks Herald published a great article and pictures promoting
breastfeeding. McSparron Family Chiropractic supports and encourages
breastfeeding on the premises (note the window cling of the International
Breastfeeding Symbol).
