“Happy faces. Such a rewarding
experience I am sure. God bless them and
thanks be to God for all they did.
–Charles and Dianne M.
“Looked like a good time was had by all!!”
-Eleanor S.
“Even though they may not realize it now,
their actions in the past week made a positive
impact on the daily life of many people they will
never know. May their experience inspire them to
realize that whether one is young, middle-aged,
or in your senior years, success comes from
giving back to those who have needs. You
have made a difference. Congratulations
and May God bless you.”
-Ron and Mary Bator
“So nice to see the great pictures.
I also enjoy seeing all the young people.”
