Elf on the Shelf book give away at the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital-December 10th

The Martin/Pitt Partnership for Children held a reading and a book giveaway at the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital at Vidant in Greenville on Thursday, December 10th at 1:30pm.
The Partnership received a donation from Elf on the Shelf to give Elf on the Shelf books to children currently staying at the hospital. Mayor Allen Thomas and Miss North Carolina International Erika Taylor read to the children and visited children in their rooms, and played with them and even took some selfies!  WITN, WNCT and The Daily Reflector were there to cover this very special event.  Photos here:
