The Red Hot Chidlren's Fiesta and the Family Kite Day are two of the events the group brainstormed in it's Four Season's of Fun, an attempt to offer family freindly events since the community has said there was a need for such gatherings. </div> <div>  </div> <div> Four Season's of Fun kicked off 2006 by participating in National Kite Month with their Family Kite Day, April 9. Silver City is the birth place of the <A HREF="http://www.aka.kite.org/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.aka.kite.org/"><U>American Kite Fliers Association</U></A> so the community thought to celebrate that fact, and the high winds that come in the Spring season, with kite flying.  But before taking off, the community needed to make some homemade kites! So on April 8th the Health Council and Children's Life Cycle sponsored a Kite Making Workshop, taught by international kite maker Frank Miller! Over 100 residents turned out for the free workshop that offered older kids a chance to make homemade kites and small kids a chance to paint their very own kite! The next day, over 350 people turned out at Ben Altamirano Sports Complex soccer fields to fly kites. Look for Kite Day in April 2007!</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1871bde0.jpg" border=0 width="283" height="222" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                    <IMG SRC="18908de0.jpg" border=0 width="264" height="222" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </div> <div> <I>A family who made their own kites at the workshop.              Some of the high flying kites.

Activities included rock painting, a obstical course (seen below), face painting, bubble blowing, costume pictures, mask making and book bingo. Look for it again in June 2007!</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="18217cb0.jpg" border=0 width="279" height="203" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                  <IMG SRC="185a7c60.jpg" border=0 width="167" height="198" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Red Hot Children's Fiesta, 2005                                                        Red Hot Children's Fiesta, 2005.</I></div> <bR> <div>  The Children's Life Cycle is sponsored a Play Day to bring families together to learn old and new games to play together on Saturday, April 17,2004. Over 250 people, young and old, turned out to play traditional games including: hopscotch, hoola hoop, duck duck goose, and other games. The Health Council acknowledges the importance of family resilency and bonding in the community, by aiding in bringing such events as these to promote family friendly events.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="0ddefc00.png" border=0 width="239" height="192" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>A father and daughter spend time together at Family Play Day on April 17, 2004.

They secured funding for the project, and now, Bayard, Mimbres, and Silver City are the homes to new Family Support Centers! </div> <div> The Agency Co-Chairs are </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Minutes 2006</B></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="473" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="71"><div> January</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> February</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> March</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> April</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> May</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> June</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="71"><div> July</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> August</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> September</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id510.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Childrens Life Cycle October 2006"><U>October</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id509.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Childrens Life Cycle November 2006"><U>November</U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> December</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Minutes 2004</B></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="473" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id277.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle Janu"><U>January</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id280.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle Feb."><U>February</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id288.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception tgo Preteen Life Cycle Mar"><U>March</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id295.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle Apri"><U>April</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> May</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id300.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle June"><U>June</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="71"><div> July</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id305.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle Augu"><U>August</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> September</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> October</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> November</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> December</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Minutes  2003</B></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="473" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="71"><div> January</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id79.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preschool Feb. 2003"><U>February</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id84.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preschool March 2003"><U>March</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id97.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preshcool Life Cycle Ap"><U>April</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id113.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preschool May 2003"><U>May</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id112.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preschool Life Cycle Ju"><U>June</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id130.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen July 2003"><U>July</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id129.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen August 2003"><U>August</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id121.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Sept. 2003"><U>September</U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="71"><div> <A HREF="id131.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle Oct."><U>October</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id135.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Preconception to Preteen Life Cycle Nove"><U>November</U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> December</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:kmilligan@grmc.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:kmilligan@grmc.org"><U><I><B><U>Contact the Children's  Life Cycle!</U></B></I></U></A><A HREF="mailto:kmilligan@grmc.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:kmilligan@grmc.org"><U><I><B> </B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
