Special Thanks...

We have recruited 25 young adult volunteers to help with our program. Our volunteer program is restricted to a total of 25; we have, however, created a waiting list. If we are shorthanded on any particular day, we will call our volunteer waiting list as back-up. Our volunteers will be helping with reporting, programs, and the carnival.
