Volunteers from Duke Energy’s Business Women’s Network and Toyota Motor Manufacturing’s Women’s Leadership Forum gathered this spring to paint the playground at the Newport Head Start Center.

Volunteers prepare planter boxes for the newly painted playground.

Volunteers designed and painted a mural on the center's multi purpose room, which doubles as an indoor classroom.

 

Children from the Newport Head Start Center painted a banner to greet the volunteers and show their appreciation.

Duke Energy’s Business Women’s Network and Toyota Motor Manufacturing’s Women’s Leadership Forum were recognized for their contribution at Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission's 2008 Annual Meeting. They shared the Head Start Volunteer of the Year award. After the ceremony, Kimberly Glenn of Duke Energy commented that "the project helped us more than it did Head Start. We truly enjoyed the experience."
