The Mayor hosting a reception to thank the many sponsors of PRO Kids that help children between Grand Bay Westfield, Saint John, Rothesay and Quispamis play in lots of ways.
PRO KIDs chair Kathryn Davison tells CHSJ News the kids on their waiting list have wide ranging interests.
She says dance, cheerleading, guitar and piano lessons are popular in addition to sports.
Davison says PRO kids was placing 200 kids a decade ago and last year they reached 1100 children looking for placement in recreation activities.
In addition to needing more sponsors and volunteers, Davison says she would love to see PRO Kids manager Tammy Desaulniers get some help even if it was part time.
