Volunteers are needed to assist with the arts
and crafts, concession stand, table games, board
games, field maintenance, coaching, manager,
computer stations, chaperones and surely there is
something that “YOU” can do to assist with the
summer camp.

We have seen this group of citizen’s in action
and they are “dedicated” to our children. A
banquet was held for both the Basketball and
Baseball Youth participants. Both children and
parents attended and have had rave reviews about
the programs.
BLACKVILLE RECREATION BOARD
Six members of our community have taken on
the responsibility of our township youth.
Organizing and preparing a summer program to
protect and keep our children occupied this
summer.
Many programs have been discussed and put
into place for the program:

The age group for the program is 4 to 17. The
cost is $20.00 for the entire summer period. Can
you sponsor a child, so any child that wants to
participate can attend? The program will be in
effect from June 2, 2014 until July 31, 2014. The
hours of operation for the camp are 3:00PM until
9:00PM, Monday thru Thursday.
Although this group of concerned citizens
have planned numerous activities for the children,
your help is needed. Can you give a “HAND” a few
hours a week to assist this group? Just think of the
impact you may have on a child, sometimes a smile
or a friendly gesture can make a child’s day.
The Blackville Recreation Group is led by
Director Jessie Dukes with the assistance of Bridget
Brown, Earl Nix, Leon Harrison, Barry Black, Fred
Jamison and Kelvin Butler.
To volunteer or contribute contact Jessie Dukes

FYI
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its
effectiveness on the body: 2 glasses of water after
waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps
digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower
blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or
heart attack.
Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda
and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge first
recognized Father's Day.
In
1972,
President
Richard
Nixon
established
a
permanent
national
observance of Father's Day to be held on
the third Sunday of June.
For daughters, fathers are the first men
they adore and fall in love with.
For sons their fathers are the strongest
person they know and someone they
aspire to emulate.
Father's Day is considered extremely
important as it helps acknowledge the
contribution of fathers to individual
families and to societies at large.
Father's Day gives us the opportunity to
express
“THANKS”
to
our
Dad’s for all their unconditional love and
affection.
“CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY WITH DAD”.
