Hello September!

Pretty fall leaves

September is here! This means that autumn (my favorite season, by the way) is almost here. September at CMOM will bring some exciting things! For starters, we will be open from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Labor Day (September 3). On September 15, there is the Children’s Choice Presidential Election, from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. Children can cast their vote for president in this interactive, educational program about voting and the presidential election. They will register to receive their own voting card, create campaign buttons and posters for their favorite candidate, cast their vote in a real voting booth and take part in interactive games, crafts and activities to introduce the presidential election process and our judicial system. Spin the wheel to answer trivia questions about our past presidents and win prizes. All votes will be counted and results posted on our website and in The Commercial Appeal.

 Later this month, there is the second annual Children’s Ball. The Ball will be on September 28, from 6:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. More info can be found here.

Stop by CMOM this month!

Children's Choice: VOTE for MEMPHIS!

"Kickin' with the Candidates"

October 10, 2009

10am-2pm

As you've probably noticed, Memphis has caught the election bug, and now it's time to hear what the kids have to say! Come meet the mayoral candidates and witness our city's future voters (ages 2-15) let their voices be heard in CMOM's own special voting booths. Kids will learn even more about the election process by receiving voter registration cards, making campaign buttons and hats, and hearing a presentation by the Booker T. Washington JROTC. Take advantage of one of America's greatest privileges: VOTE!
