SODA
Supports Kettering Healthy Kids Day
April 19, 2008 as proclaimed Healthy
Kids Day in the City of Kettering by Mayor Don Patterson.
Community South YMCA in Kettering sponsored a Healthy
Kids Day fair at their facility. The goal of the fair
was to develop and support healthy kids by introducing
them to new ideas and learning opportunities.
SODA
scuba instructors, Charlie Cram and Charlie Kleemann,
operated a booth at the fair to introduce kids and their
families to scuba diving as a fun and healthy family
activity.

Dress
Like a Scuba Diver
SODA also offered the kids a unique opportunity to get
a taste of scuba diving. A coral reef was simulated
by placing shells, coins, and coral pieces into a large
tub of water. The kids could then don a mask, put in
a regulator and explore the wonders of the reef in a
tub.
