There is a great (and delicious) way that you can show your support of the Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, Inc.'s Stop Child Abuse and Neglect Program at our fifth annual ice cream tasting FUNdraiser, SCAN's Cones For Kids. Funds raised at the event will help to spread support and expand SCAN's audience base so more children can benefit from the important safety messages. This unique, family friendly event will be held on Wednesday, July, 15 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Racine Masonic Center, 1012 Main Street, Racine. Read more...

Bring the whole family to sample mini-cones from Racine's favorite ice cream, custard, and gelato shops. Caesar's Frozen Custard, Culver's Restaurant, Georgie Porgie's Burger and Custard Tree Fort, Divino Gelato, and Sugar Shack have all donated unique flavors of ice cream or frozen custard that guests can taste and then vote for their favorite to win the SCAN’s Golden Scoop Award.
SCAN (2)You can also experience the twisted creations of The Big Balloon Tycoon and use photo props for snapshots to take home. Kids can decorate fabric book bags with help from the Racine Art Museum and get a free copy of the Rana DiOrio's children's book "What Does it Mean to be Safe" while supplies last. Adults can browse through the many offerings in the silent auction including Disney passes, restaurant and movie gift cards, festival and sports tickets, overnight stays, and many things perfect for family fun.

A Great Summer Read

Library Summer Reading Programs of Heroic Proportions! by Just Add Kids Founder, Paula Herrmann Reading over the summer months can make a huge difference for kids when they get back to school in the fall. With a lack of summer reading, children can actually loose up to three months in reading skill. Summer reading loss is cumulative, leaving some kids years behind as they get older. By the end of 6th grade, kids who lose reading skills over the summer may end up being two years behind their classmates. Wow! I know, you don't want your kid to end up on the low end of the reading spectrum. Don't let your kiddo's reading skills take a blow this summer. Read more...

If you're a pair of dad entrepreneurs, you hope not!  They recently jumped on the Silly Bandz craze and brought to market The Original Silly Stand , designed to do what else, but keep those crazy rubber bands organized. In my house, I think we need a Silly Bandz detector. I swear, we must have a over 100, but who even knows where they are (although I dedicated a container for each of my younger silly band wearers).  The funny thing is, my kids aren't wearing them a...
