2009 - The Year In Review
Looking back, 2009 was an exciting year
Looking back, 2009 was an exciting year. Of course the Foundation faced the same economic challenges that every organization, business, family and individual encountered, but we had many successes, and continued to provide grants to worthy community organizations.

The 2010 Winter Gala
Heart and Soul a huge success
Wow! The 2010 Winter Gala. Where do we begin? First we had a fantastic venue, the newly remodeled Sellers Buick Pontiac GMC showroom, with floor to ceiling windows. It was transformed into a very elegant room rivaling any country club or hotel ballroom. Our guests (and we had a sell-out crowd) were welcomed by student greeters who took their coats. As they mingled with friends and made new friends, our guests could also have their photo taken as a memento of the evening, browse and bid on a wide array of silent auction items, and participate in the hilarious "Boogie Heads."
The 2010 Rubber Duck Race
Our communitys greatest race!
The sixth running of the Rubber Duck Race was a huge success – great weather, enthusiastic crowd, creatively decorated decoy ducks and very competitive little rubber ducks. The Sunday afternoon event was the culmination of months of preparation and no one was disappointed.
