On Wednesday, January 28, the Ronald McDonald Family Room had it's "official" open house! It was a long day and my legs were about to give out by the time it was over, but I had a chance to meet Casey from Channel 2 News and Ronald McDonald! What a deal! We were supposed to be on live with Casey that morning, so arrived at the Family Room at 6am, but there was a problem with the "feed" and they couldn't get picture or sound. So, they filmed the room and it aired later that day. I still haven't seen the piece I watched them film, but hopefully we'll get a copy soon. Later that day we prepared for the big open house, where all the community members were invited as well as hospital staff and Ronald McDonald Board members, donors and staff. We had probably over 100 people attend and it was a wonderful turnout. We had one family attend who had just had twin baby girls. It was a great experience for them and they got to be in the TV spot, so it will be something they treasure I am sure. I love my new job and all the wonderful people I have met and our volunteers are the best!
Here is a picture of me with Ronald!
