"Party at The Pines" - Volunteer Appreciation and Fun Night
Our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Fun Night at the Pines took place in the cafeteria on Thursday, June 16. Volunteers recognized for their faithful work for Community Living included Jackie Caza, Darlene Clarke, Crystal Gage, Carl Haskell, Diane Haskell and Wendy Jackson.
Crystal Gage entertained. Our theme, "Party at The Pines” was so very appropriate as we celebrated the contributions of each volunteer enriching the lives of those we support.
Special appreciation to all to UCC, specifically Mr. Jerry Mihoren and his students who prepared the "party" menu and to Mr. Chris Guttridge and his students who served it.
