WYBMND 2.0 – Celebrate Mr. Rogers and Neighbors on March 20th

March 19, 2009 Lindsay

I think I really should make a t-shirt with WYBMND on it.  One of the amazing reasons to love Pittsburgh is that it really is Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.  Mr. Rogers was a really remarkable person who was a tireless advocate for children and had an impact on many people (check out some of the thoughts from other bloggers about Mr. Rogers here).

To celebrate Mr. Rogers and continue his work – the folks at Family Communications celebrate each year with Sweater Day and a whole week of activities about neighbors.

March 20, 2009 is Sweater Day.

You can also join in the fun by wearing your sweater to see a screening of My Tale of Two Cities at Waterworks Cinema.  After the 7pm showing Mr. McFeely  will lead the crowd in singing won’t you be my neighbor – more details here.
