At our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, we thanked volunteers who help us "carry the load" in so many ways at our Home...from painting cottages and tending flowerbeds...to tutoring...teaching music and art...throwing parties for birthdays and Christmas...helping out in the office...and working the Spring Festival!
We are grateful to all of you who contribute your time, talents, and energy in the service of our children and our Home!

Kay Gallatin, Doyle Simpson, and Vern Hupman are just a few of our friends at Cypress Creek Christian Church who have made our family their family! They provide for everything from food and back-to-school supplies to birthdays and Christmas! Patsy Patterson, in the background here, is always at the fore when leading our friends at Cypress Creek in their service to our kids!
Gardening supplies on the table are part of the centerpiece. Each table represented an area in which our volunteers bless our Home...and planting and weeding is certainly among them! |
