USO Story Time

I'm just getting around to posting this from July 12th.  It was "Super Hero" story time at the USO.  Fifty military families were expected today, and I know that at least two extra tables were set up after it started, so I think more came than were expected.

They had construction paper masks to color, temporary "tattoos" to wear and a photo booth (kind of) to take their picture flying over Gotham City.  Many kids were wearing super hero costumes.

I helped tape the words "BAM" and "POW" and "WHAM" onto the walls.  Cupcakes with Batman on them, and red velvet cake pops with Spiderman on them were among the treats on the dessert table today along with boxes of pizza donated by Hungry Howie's Pizza.
"Howie" thanked the director for the opportunity to supply lunch for this event.  So great.

(I served lots and lots of pizza to moms and kids)

"Spiderman" read the story to the kids while they sat on kid-size chairs and small blankets spread out on the floor.  Every child got a Little Golden book story of the "Super Friends."

Terrible picture, sorry.

Not sure who it was, but a reporter seemed to be taking pictures and interviewing "Wonder Woman" and "Clark Kent" (USO staff).  I didn't see anything about it on news, but may have missed it.

I think it was a very successful event judging by the amount of people and the amount of food that disappeared!
