We were thrilled to see so many people come out and celebrate the 22nd signing of the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA).

At the event we were happy to announce our Volunteer of The Year, Suzanne Allison for all of her hard work on the marketing committees.  And the Volunteer Group of the Year, The Baptist Builders whom without many ramps would not have been built. 

We want to thank BCBST and Gerdau for sponsoring the event,  the wonderful bluegrass group for entertaining everyone, all of the staff and volunteers who worked that day, and all of our wonderful community members who joined us!
