Two events in May which happens during Older American Month and we would be grateful if you could add these events to your calendar.

1. 1st Annual Tea Party - May 2, 2009 10:30am - 12:30pm
Villanova Conference Center 601 County Line Road Radnor, PA 19087
Our Conscientious Acts of Kindness Campaign will kick off with a Tea Party during Older Americans Month on May 2, 2009. Our special guests will be members of the senior population in Delaware County who are invited to bring family members and friends. All groups in attendance must have a senior citizen (60+ years of age) as a member of their party. The Tea Party will act as an outreach program focused on connecting the generations, bringing awareness to senior issues and challenging the younger generations and the community at large to take a daily interest in those seniors whose lives cross paths with their own by making conscientious choices to assist seniors in their neighborhoods, in their communities and in their families with purposeful acts of kindness. For instance, bringing trash cans up from the curb on trash day, assisting in unloading a grocery cart at the grocery store, making sure their walkways are safe by shoveling their snow and/or raking their leaves.

The Duck Derby and its related functions (a kick-off silent auction, duck adoptions, etc.) will act as ntbffs primary fund raising activity for 2009. Individuals, organizations, companies and groups will be able to adopt a bright yellow rubber duck for $5 each. All adopted ducks will be tagged and dropped into the Delaware River at Governor Printz Park in Essington. Each derby duck will then race towards the finish line with a winning number attached to it. As a specified number of adopted ducks cross the finish line, they will be cross-referenced on a master list to their lucky parents. Prizes will be awarded to the winning ducks. In addition to the Duck Derby, ntbf will coordinate a day of family activities in Governor Printz Park on the day of the Derby.
