Strong Kids Safe Kids Family Fling – Volunteer Needs

posted 8/8/2012

Strong Kids Safe Kids of Steuben County is a collaborative effort of concerned businesses, agencies, and individuals who want to make sure that kids simply get the chance to be kids – with no strings attached! The result of these collaborative efforts is a day of FREE fun and information for children and their families – games, activities, giveaways, snacks, information – open to all Steuben County families.

This year, the 2nd Annual Strong Kids Safe Kids Family Fling is scheduled for Saturday, September 15, 2012, from 12 p.m. – 3 p.m. at the Bath Haverling High School gym, in Bath, NY.
