My wife and I have given much time, effort and treasure over the years to projects and endeavors in our community. We have learned over time that many people think this kind of stuff “just happens”. Well….it doesn’t. Somewhere along the line folks like you, Ken and many others had the grit and determination to say “I can do that” “why not us?” or “we can do better”. I do know you are like me and don’t want the limelight, but it is nice to get a rare “thank you”. I hope you and your staff have received many over the years, as you deserved them many times over. But in the oft chance that you haven’t, I want to simply express my gratitude and admiration for what you are doing for so many young people.
