We met with Sharon at Hudson River Housing this past Friday to gather more information. There are currently approximately 60 children staying there, but that number changes all of the time. There are about 4-5 birthdays to be celebrated each month for children ages 0-16.
We will be trying to establish a regular monthly schedule--currently we're leaning towards having the parties on the second Saturday of each month (hopefully starting in March). The parties will take place in the dining room and so we will plan to get started by 2pm (to begin after lunch and before dinner).
Components of the party will probably include a cake/cupcakes for ~40 people, a face-painting/tattoo station, a game (pin the tail on the donkey, the limbo, etc.) and maybe some short entertainment (song time, magic show, etc.--we'll need your skills!).
At this time we need volunteers to help donate and collect supplies as well as to help at the party. Let us know how you would like to help out by leaving a comment below.

I would love to give the face painting a try, Gini. This use to be my mom's job at me and my siblings parties, so maybe she could give me some pointers!
