October  2008 -  PAN Kid Zone Update

At the PAN Kid Zone we had a jar of foreign coins out and asked the kids to guess how many coins. The closest to the correct amount would receive all the coins. We actually had two who guessed exactly the same, and exactly the correct amount. John Sarosi split the coins in the jar into two equal lots and added the extra coins to come up to the total amount guessed. So we sent out two bags of coins - one to John Sleva of Mt. Pleasant, PA and one to Cody Hunter of Whitaker, PA.  Congratulations.
