06/19/08 The 22nd Annual Children Awards Banquet

At the 22nd Annual Boys and Girls Country Children’s Awards Banquet, we celebrated the victories that brought each child to the Winner’s Circle this year, from the Honor Roll to the Resident of the Year Award. We also announced the winners of reward trips, who were selected based on grades, behavior, leadership, and community service and involvement to go on exciting and educational trips*.

Thank you to all of our friends in the community who help our children race toward success every day! We would like to especially thank our sponsors for this year’s Awards Banquet. St. Francis Episcopal Church provided the venue, along with outstanding volunteers and a wonderful dinner. The Cypress Belles of the National Charity League designed and printed our invitations, programs, and award certificates, and did a great job serving our guests. We are so grateful to you!
