March 2 - Read Across America Day – Grand Rapids, MI
Caressa had the pleasure of working with Amway once again on Read Across America Day at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. Amway graciously donated 200 books to the hospital and Caressa had a great time reading them to all of the children. Caressa said, “What I love , especially about children’s hospitals , is that they’re all still kids. They’re still playing their Wii Games and they still have the energy to challenge their moms.” “ This was inspiring event to be a part of while in Michigan.”
