On Saturday, March 26, 2011, Kids N The Know had opportunity to join up with other companies and volunteers from all over the Dallas Metroplex. We're talking about people from Addison, Carrollton, Dallas, Garland, Lewisville, Richardson, even as far as McKinney, and more that came out to participate.

Talk about the early bird, people were there as early as 5 a.m. in the morning to help set up, including Colette Vallot-Senior Manager of Community Services and Debby Ramsey-Coordinator at TXU Energy over this project.
What was really great about this community service event is that there were 600 people registered and all the volunteers planted 2,000 trees that day. Me personally, I planted like 20 trees by myself.

Another great opportunity I had was being surrounded by the people that made this event happen and supported this event. Janette Monear, President & CEO-Texas Tree Foundation; Bobby Lyle, Chairman of the Board-Texas Tree Foundation; Jim Burke, CEO & Chairman-TXU Energy; State Representative District 102- Dallas Republican Stefani Carter; Amir Omar, Richardson-Council Member Place 7; Kimberly Lay,  Addison-Deputy Mayer Pro Tempore; and Matt Grubisich, Urban Forester, Colette Vallot, Senior Manager-Community Service; Chick Fil-A, Catering Services. 

Among the many companies that supported by getting the message out and  donated their time was Circle 10-Boy Scouts, Neiman Marcus, Kids N The Know, Bounce House, Construction, Divine Divas of North Texas, WFAA, and more. 


Most importantly,  I, Appiah was surrounded by my friends to just name a few, LeVonna McLean, Abdul Alattery, Hope Venice, Semira Abdourezak, Freshweyn Tadesse, Evobe Tamere, Salha Khalif, Danait Testaye, Saima Rashid, Reem Rabi, Salha Khamis, Rosno Overo, Elena Perez, and more. Seriously!
Was I tired? Yes! But it was hard work but I just had a lot of fun!!!!!!!!
