The Gala Event on December 2nd was a tremendous success. The feedback from those in attendance both during and after the event has been extremely positive.

Big thanks go to the elected officials and their representatives who attended the event, as well as all the sponsors who made the evening possible.

Additional thanks go out to the Board members who attended and helped with the preparation, as well as the many new volunteers who took on significant responsibilities and helped to make the event a success.
