Birthday Club

Today Jim, Michelle, Natalie, Morgan, Nick and Jack brought us 3 full plates of wonderfully decorated cupcakes and a present for one of our children that is currently staying with us in the shelter. The family is part of the Upper Arlington Birthday Club. They are given a current list of birthdays for the month and then as each birthday approaches the club delivers a cake and a present for the children. It is a wonderful program!
