MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM US
We are deeply grateful to every person, church, civic club, business or governmental agency who has done something for the children this year and especially at Christmas.
As you celebrate the blessings of Christmas with family and friends, please be assured that we, like the shepherds of yore, are keeping watch over our flock – a flock of very special children whose needs are great and who especially need to know the kind of precious love that came to us all at Christmas. On behalf of the children, staff and Board of Trustees, it is my privilege and pleasure to wish you relationships that will cause you to rejoice, the good will of men and peace on earth. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Lake Murray Lions Club Calendar for 2012
This is the 3rd year the Lake Murray Lions Club has sponsored a calendar of art works created by the children of the Shelter with all proceeds from the sales going to the Shelter.
These are really works of art created by the children under the supervision of Lee Swallie, Lexington’s premier children’s art instructor. The kid’s are so proud to have one of the works selected and published. You can purchase a calendar for $10 and help the Shelter at the same time. What a great idea for holiday gifts or gifts for no particular reason. Based on the past 2 years, everyone will be touched by the work of these children.
Kids Day 2012
2012
Dear Kid’s Day Friend,
On April 28, 2012 Palmetto Chiropractic Center will present the 12th anniversary of KID’S DAY OF LEXINGTON. Widely known as a premier event in the midlands, it is solely intended for the education of families on issues of health, safety and environmental awareness. The benefactors of this event are the Nancy K. Perry Children’s Shelter and theDickersonCenter for Children. The mission of
Kid’s Day of Lexington is to “create a better community by educating and caring for the people of the midlands with love, honesty and laughter”.
Here are some examples of what took place during previous Kid’s Day of Lexington celebrations: The Lexington PD distributed ID kits, the Lexington FD exhibited fire trucks and provided safety tips and the Lexington EMS exhibited an ambulance. Palmetto Smiles performed dental screenings,PalmettoChiropracticCenterperformed computerized spinal screenings and distributed information regarding disease prevention and health promotion.
WMHK was on location. Golden State Foods, many local churches, The Body Shop, Farm Bureau, DNR, Edventure and Wal Mart had interactive booths. The Lexington County Library brought the bookmobile and Usborne Books and Lexington School District One promoted reading for children. Air Fun rentals provided inflatables. Several agencies and businesses combined to celebrate Earth Day by promoting environmental improvement issues. Mayor ofLexington, Randy Halfacre and members of Lexington Town Council stayed all day to meet with families. Piggly Wiggly, Waffle House, Culligan Water, Blue Bell Ice Cream, Krispy Kreme, Salsarita’s, Lizard’s Thicket and Domino’s provided food and drink.
Other participants were Best Buy, Envision , PAC, YMCA, Lexington County Sheriff Department, All American Imaging, Stockade Storage, Riverbanks Zoo, Mad Science, Girl & Boy Scouts, SCDOT, SCEG, the Sertoma Club, Lexington County Aging & Recreation, and Lexington Medical Center just to name a few!
We enjoyed performances on the stage from Ronald McDonald, Turning Pointe Performing Arts Studio, Logan Elementary steel drums and a special patriotic tribute.
Appearances were made by Cocky from USC, Texas Roadhouse Armadillo, the Columbia College Koala, the Chick-fil-a Cow, Smokey Bear, Sports Clips, McGruff the Crime Dog, Brueggers Bagel Man, the Piggly Wiggly Pig and Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Again, all proceeds from Kid’s Day of Lexington donations will benefit the Nancy K. Perry Children Shelter and the Dickerson Center for Children. Each of these facilities for abused children is in constant need of help from the community and we at Palmetto Chiropractic Center are honored to be a friend to both organizations.
For this year’s event, we plan to have more people, food, giveaways, booths and participation. Over 10,000 people enjoyed last year’s event. This attendance requires Kid’s Day of Lexington to organize and advertise on a grander scale. Contribution levels are as follows…
- $500 bronze sponsors will have their name on a “board of contributors” sign displayed at the park entrance
- $1000 silver sponsors will have a 2’x3’ logo displayed on a banner at the park entrance
- $5000 Grand Sponsor will have multiple advertisement signage, logo displayed on the 12’ x 6’ Kid’s Day banner at the event, mention in all radio ads and interview marketing, website prominence and logo on all marketing material.
You may also participate in Kid’s Day of Lexington. Monetary donations are important, but donations of time are just as important. Booths will be available for your participation for a $50 donation. All donations made to Kid’s Day of Lexington are tax deductible (we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization).
This is becoming an anticipated annual event for the community and we are searching for partners to help continue this Lexington tradition. We at Palmetto Chiropractic Center once again look forward to making Kid’s Day of Lexington exciting and educational for the families of the midlands.
Yours In Health And Wellness,
