"SMILES"
CONGRATULATIONS TO PONDEROSA STEAKHOUSE FOR SPREADING
"SMILES" DURING NATIONAL CHILD
ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH 2011
Ponderosa Steakhouse, Morehead, KY, worked hard raising awareness
in the local community by spreading "Smiles" throughout April, National Child
Abuse Prevention Month, 2011. Ponderosa, through the efforts of its employees,
had local children as well as customers color a sheet with the word “Smile” on
it. The sheets were then taped to the wall next to the cash registers, calling
it the Wall of Smiles. Manager Rhianna Burns said it was wonderful to see so
many different age children excited to hang their picture! On April 21, 2011,
Ponderosa held a “Give A Child A Smile Egg Hunt” at a local soccer field.
Everyone was invited and everything was free. Approximately 300 adults and
children attended. This has been a very exciting month for the staff at
Ponderosa. They plan to continue spreading awareness in the community throughout
the year.
