Harvard Pilgrim Community Spirit Mini Grant

Harvard Pilgrim once again blessed us with the Community Spirit 9/11 Mini-Grant in the amount of $600!!  We can't thank them enough for their continued support and generosity. Thank you!


Here's a little information about the Community Spirit 9/11 Mini-Grants Program from Harvard Pilgrim:

Harvard Pilgrim Health Care created the Community Spirit 9/11 Mini-Grants to commemorate the first anniversary of September 11, 2001 through a special contribution to its Foundation. The Foundation administers this special fund and distributes the Mini-Grants to non-profit organizations that Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Health Plans Inc. and Dell Perot employees nominate.

Since 2002, hundreds of Harvard Pilgrim, Health Plans Inc. and Dell Perot employees have had their Mini-Grants approved -- benefiting schools, social service, and cultural and other community-based organizations where our employees live and work. Just last year, we distributed more than $370,000 in Mini-Grants throughout Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

New Cadet Candid Photos

In no particular, random order .... here are some updated Cadet Practice Photos!

This is my favorite!

 Taking a moment to contemplate ... or just waiting for break ...

 Patiently awaiting instructions from the coaches. 

The kids love laying on the mat .....

 ... SEE !  Lots of smiles! 

Lunch break!

 Back to work.

 Mascott Moe came for a visit. 

 Silly Cadets!

As Promised - Pictures of Baby Harrison!!

Welcome Baby Harrison!  Born Dec. 10th to Coach Kelly and her husband Justin.

Aww, so snuggly warm and toasty.  Hello Harrison!  It's so nice to see you!

Momma Kelly and her two babies, Harrison and Beazley.

 
For those who aren't aware, Baby Harrison's Daddy, Justin, is a wonderful singer/musician and it looks like Harrison is already belting out his own songs!

Baby Harrison Has Arrived!!

Congratulations go out to Coach Kelly and hubby Justin on the birth of Baby Harrison on December 10th!  Baby Harry weighed in at a whopping 8lbs. 8 ounces and was 21 inches long!

We'll post photos as soon as the new mom send them over.  She's a little busy right now *wink*.

How blessed we are to have 2 new little mascotts joining our ranks this season.  How wonderful it will be for Baby Bobby and Baby Harry to grow up together.  There won't ever be a lack of free baby sitters - the line has already formed!

What do These Photos Have in Common?

SMILES!!!

Well, maybe not this one ...
