On Thursday, October 20, 2011, the city of Apalachicola’s Project Impact Program will join with children, parents, grandparents, educators, community leaders, policymakers, celebrities, and others across the country to commemorate the 12th Annual Lights On Afterschool nationwide rally for afterschool programs.
In collaboration with the St. George Light House Association, Project Impact will celebrate the event by taking participating students on a tour of the historic St. George Island Lighthouse. The tour will feature a special presentation by the Lighthouse Association including a tour of the new Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage and a family hot dog dinner.
Since the Afterschool Alliance organized the first Lights On Afterschool awareness rally in 2000, it has grown to include more than 7,500 events across the country and at U.S. military bases worldwide.
In Florida, more than 600 afterschool programs are expected to participate with many creative events, including craft shows, parades, and musical performances, to show their communities the importance of afterschool programs.
Bus transportation will be provided by Project Impact leaving both centers at 3:30PM and returning at 5:30PM.
For more information, or to reserve a seat at the program site please call (850) 370-0145.
