Salmon Run DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
This month DREAM hosted Teen WAC in Burlington! Youth from all over VT came together for a fun day of winter activities. Some teens raised money for the Penguin Plunge and bravely jumped into Lake Champlain! The rest of the group cheered them on from the side lines. The day ended with watching a Saint Michael’s Women’s hockey game and ice skating!

Weekly Programming with Children
Mentors and mentees collected spare change from college students and raised over $350.00 for their program! Co-chair, Emily West-Geary, hosted a Valentine’s Day party at her house. The group made each other Valentines, had a dance party, and enjoyed some yummy snacks. The group went to American Flatbread for dinner and ended the night with ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s! Mentors and mentees travelled to the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Waterbury for a tour and then enjoyed a Vermonster!
