The Newnan/Coweta

Boys & Girls Club, 71 Wesley St., will host an open house to celebrate

National KidsDay. Club members, their families, friends and community

members are invited from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to see a Boys & Girls Club

in action and to interact with young members. With activities and games

for all ages, it's hoped the event will bring children and adults together

for an exciting afternoon of quality time.

In addition,

a free city-wide National KidsDay event will take place at SciTrek from

3 - 5 p.m. Boys & Girls Club members, their families and the public

are invited to participate in interactive activities, enjoy entertainment

provided by Radio Disney and to make the National KidsDay Pledge.

A National

KidsDay activity guide is available in area Blockbuster stores. The guide

includes dozens of fun, relationship-building activities that adults and

children can enjoy together as well as the National KidsDay pledge and

an entry form for the Make A Kid's Day sweepstakes to win college scholarships.
