Welcome 2010!

Our volunteers are back and the energy is contagious! We had our first annual volunteer meeting this January and another success was registered! We reported on how far we had come in our first year of operation and published a wish list for year two. The group has already accomplished a few items on the wish list! Some more of our volunteers have stepped forward to assist with scheduling and administrative work. We have 4 fundraisers on the calendar, we are focusing on that "big idea " fund raiser, I know we will find it! I could not be more proud of the work that is being done!
