For many years, the Children's Enrichment Committee has benefited from the generosity of John and Deb Botti, owners of John's Harvest Inn, in Middletown, NY.
The Bottis have a program called Dining To Make A Difference. Local non-profit organizations select a Sunday and the Bottis donate 10% of that day's proceeds as well as the proceeds from a gift basket raffle.
On May 13, the Bottis donated $400.00 to the CEC from Dining To Make A Difference. Their donation will go to help Orange County children in need.
The Children's Enrichment Committee Annual Luncheon will be held at John's Harvest Inn at noon, on Tuesday, June 2. Hannaford Supermarket will be donating gifts for a Spa Basket to be raffled at the luncheon.
We hope to see you at the luncheon. There will be great food, great company, and a great chance to win a luxurious gift basket raffle!

May Is National Foster Care Month
On a beautiful spring day in May, it's hard to imagine the difficulties of being a child in the foster care system or the challenges of being a foster parents.
So perhaps it's especially appropriate that May is National Foster Care Month:
The Children's Enrichment Committee takes special pride in our commitment to helping Orange County children in foster care. For over 100 years, the CEC has worked to brighten the lives of children in foster care, through holiday presents, financing summer camp stays, school trips, music lessons, college scholarships, and even emergency purchases of clothing.
We salute the foster parents, the family members, the child welfare professionals, and every one else who works to make the lives of these children and teenagers better and more promising.
And we thank you for your continuing support of the CEC in this most important work.
So perhaps it's especially appropriate that May is National Foster Care Month:
May is National Foster Care Month, a month set aside to acknowledge foster parents, family members, volunteers, mentors, policymakers, child welfare professionals, and other members of the community who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections. During National Foster Care Month, we renew our commitment to ensuring a bright future for the nearly 400,000 children and youth in foster care, and we celebrate all those who make a meaningful difference in their lives.
