Saturday November 17th, 2007

Saturday, November 17, was the World Children's Day Block Party at the Albuquerque Convention Center. This year marked the 5th annual Block Party. Admission to this fun-filled day was once again free for everyone. Kids and their families were treated to musical entertainment, face painting, fun jumps, arts and crafts, a climbing wall, and so much more! Another fun activity was pictures with Ronald McDonald. Pictures could be taken with a $3 donation-so not only was this a great activity, but it also raised money for the Ronald House. Ronald McDonald also delighted the audience with his magic show.

Special thanks to the Moroch team and volunteers - without them the Block Party could not happen.

And a great big thank you to Kevin and Nancy Caldwell. They did a great job of raising money and have already secured a major sponsorship for next years event! All money raised goes to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico.
