Everything we are able to accomplish is due to the dedication and financial and hand-on support from our volunteer board, members, and partners. This past month we would like to thank the following individuals and organizations:
- Our super fantastic and overwhelmingly successful Kids Dance Party on May 6th would not have been possible without a long list of volunteers and supporters.
NONE of it would have been possible without the leadership, vision, patience, and organization of Katie Zucca! She brought together all our volunteers including: Christine and Will Eadie for all their help with set up (and emceeing) DJ- Jazzy Chris Garland kept everyone moving on the dance floor, Ann Garland for help with set up, logistics, sanity and all the rest, Steve Kachmyers and Perrin Hedderson for donating and setting up our sound system, Amy Kulisheck, Norma Polanco-Boyd, Sarah and Ryan Rzyner, Katherine Readey, Lee Chilcote, and Greg Zucca and many many more helped with set up, clean up and generally making the event a success. Thanks also to Ohio City Incorporated for helping us with insurance and St. Patrick's Parish for donating the space. It truly did take a village!
- On May 22nd a great group met for a Scavenger Hunt and Nature Walk starting and finishing at the Centennial Trail Head.
The success of that fun event is all due to Norma Polanco-Boyd, Steve Kachmyers, and Mother Nature! Thanks also to Mitchell's Ice Cream for donating free scoop coupons to all who finished the scavenger hunt! Check out more great pics on our Facebook Page.
