On Friday June 7th, LINC was honored to participate in Deloitte Impact Day 2024. Led by Board Member Will Estilo, Deloitte sent 22 volunteers, up to New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx for "Garden Stories in Wonderland".
Volunteers jumped right in and helped with tasks big and small - from directing families to the Mertz Library and parking strollers, to handling registration and leading the read aloud. We had an overwhelming turn out, with 50 families in attendance! Some of our guests had attended a LINC program the day before and wanted more, and many others were brand new to the LINC community.
The LINC team led the families through a joyous welcome including interactive songs before a Deloitte volunteer and a LINC VIP read a bilingual version of the book The More We Get Together by Celeste Cortwright. After reading, dancing & singing, every family was given a copy of the book and we raffled off prizes that made 4 lucky families very happy - thanks to Deloitte. We ended the day's events at the Haupt Conservatory where we all went down the rabbit hole exploring the Garden's latest Alice in Wonderland-themed exhibit.
It is certainly true that “The more we get together the happier we’ll be!”
