The following is a post from Erika, one of our Fairy Godmother Program Coordinators. Erika and Olivia organize monthly activities for our Fairy Godmother Program participants to take part in as a large group. Fairy Godmothers and Princess Graduates also meet on their own time during the month, one on one, to develop their relationships as matches.  

On December 3rd, participants of the Fairy Godmother Program gathered at the Ramada Hotel to indulge in an evening of appetizers, socializing and ginger bread house building. The majority of our program participants were able to attend and some were even able to bring their sons and daughters along for the evening. The Ramada was beautifully decorated to reflect a winter wonderland while music played softly in the background. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Appetizers and punch were shared as the group discussed plans for the holidays.

Each match made a ginger bread house together to take home and share with their families. The group was creative, to say the least! Lots of laughs were shared at the final outcomes of the ginger bread houses. The Christmas party served as an excellent event for the matches to connect before the chaos of the holidays and final exams take over. The program has been rewarding thus far for all parties involved, and we cannot wait to continue into the new year!

Until January, 

Erika
