My wish kid, Brandon, is on his way to Texas to meet Chuck Norris at his ranch! Chuck Norris cares deeply about children and, to Kids Wish Network, he is a true hero.  I’d like to send a great big thanks to Wal-Mart, the Knights of Columbus and the Longview Police Department for helping to make Brandon’s wish come true.

As promised, I want to fill you in on the Halloween festivities at Kids Wish Network.  It was a blast!  Everyone brought in their favorite dish and we had a great variety of yummy food.  The costumes were outrageous.  Our department dressed as divas complete with boas, tiaras, bling and more bling.  What’s a diva theme without the “King of the Divas”?  Our “king” was over-the-top with a pug named Tootsie on one arm, a cane in the other, very large cigar (fake of course), a cool hat complete with feather AND (tasteful) PJ’s.  Yep, I said PJ’s.  No prizes were given because it was just too difficult to pick a “best”. 

What’s your Halloween story?

People who work at Kids Wish Network are very well-balanced individuals.  We work hard but we also play hard.  Halloween is no exception.  This year we are having a pot-luck lunch with everyone bringing their favorite dish.  And, what would Halloween be without a costume contest.  Last year our department won the Best Group Costume award so we have a big challenge in front of us.  Our theme is a secret so stay tuned for the results next week.
