For Dad, For Us

Anyone who knew my dad at all knew of his great love for the Portland Promise Center. He volunteered there and served on the board and his face would light up when he talked of the work being done there.
Today our family celebrated Dad, his birthday, and my parents' anniversary by having an ice cream party for the kids there who had completed their summer book clubs.
It was great fun to see Mother, my sister and I, Shawn, and all 5 of the grandchildren there in that place, knowing how very happy it would have made Dad.

What a wonderful tribute to your dad. He would be happy and proud you honored his love for PPC.
