Amherst Girl Scouts PJ Party
We would like to thank the 96 Girl Scouts who gathered at Nord Middle School in Amherst on a Friday night in February to make blankets for the children at Blessing House. The girls, their leaders and their families collected a van full of food and household items for the children then went to work to make fleece blankets to keep them warm while they are at the house. Thanks to the Girl Scouts for all of your hard work for our kids!

Butterfly Garden
This Spring, students from Lorain County Community College’s Service Learning Program planned and installed a butterfly garden in our backyard. The students designed a garden that included plants that attracted butterflies, stepping stones made by the children who stayed at Blessing House, a bench and a solar operated water fountain. 
The students also designed and sold t-shirts to help raise funds to pay for their supplies.
Thanks to Ruby Beil for coordinating this project that has added yet another gem to the backyard at Blessing House our kids call “The Park.”
It's a Pizza Party!
Members of Quota Club recently sponsored a pizza party for some of the Blessing House kids. The balloon man (Matt) who made individual balloon sculptures for each of the kids was really a hit. Thanks to the Quota Club for the computer that was donated for our children. You have been such big supporters of the children at Blessing House.
Easter Egg Hunt
In April, the Blessing House staff invited some of the Blessing House children and their families to come for a backyard egg hunt. Over 40 attended and had a wonderful time roaming the yard looking for the plastic eggs filled with candy. The Easter Bunny himself showed up for some pictures. Thanks to our staff - Theresa, Janine, Ethel, Willow and Sherri for helping with this fun event.
Lorain 2009 International Parade
On Sunday, June 28th, several of the Blessing House staff and children who have visited in the past were excited to ride through downtown Lorain as part of the International Parade. Our staff worked hard to put together a colorful float. Even though the day started with a few rain sprinkles, the sun came out and everyone had a great time. Eamon and Charlie both had a wonderful time, too.
