Heroes behind the Scenes
Kirby Branson -- Thank you for five years of daily dedication
sharing your gifts, time and love to
"our program" and the materials and
construction of the equipment shed and
saw dust pit! We love you!
Keith Copley -- who has so generously offered his Ferrier services pro bono for the last five years.
A simple "thank you"... a smile... or a hug from one of our Wonder Kids... is appreciation beyond measure.
