Milk Parties
August 10th, 2010 by flanewsFrom Pensacola to Key West milk will be the party drink of choice.
15 ‘Milk Parties’ are scheduled for September to help raise awareness and find solutions to the problems facing Florida’s children. Only three cents of every tax dollar in Florida is spent on kids and many are living without health insurance. The Milk Parties are being hosted by the Children’s Movement of Florida. Co-Chairman David Lawrence says the state is finding money for many of its obligations, but not kids.
“We know how to get money for roads and prisons and agriculture and a lot of other things, I’m not disputing any of that, but when do children become a first priority in the state of Florida,” asked Lawrence.
Milk Party details including times and locations will be posted on the Children’s Movement of Florida’s website later this month. That site is www.childrensmovementflorida.org
