The 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Child Care Center here at Riviera was a HUGE success. On Sunday, May 16, over 150 children, parents, alumni, and church members met in the Riviera sanctuary at 11 am to attend a special worship service, which featured a vocal performance by Gillian Kraus-Neale (graduate of The Child Care Center), a special Children’s Circle by Tracey Schoenblatt (Vice-President of the Child Care Center Board of Directors), and a scripture reading by Jordan Armour (graduate of the Child Care Center). All segments of the worship service were led by individuals who had some form of a relationship (either past or present) with The Child Care Center.

Following the worship service, everyone gathered for a pasta lunch in the Fellowship Hall, where money was raised to support The Child Care Center’s Tuition Assistance Fund. Special thanks are in order for Amanda Jackson Willy (Child Care Center Board member and chairperson of the Fundraising Committee, who organized the event), Mr. Patrick Vital (who graciously donated the food for the luncheon), and to everyone at both Riviera Presbyterian Church and the Child Care Center for making this event a most memorable one!!!
