| Volunteer Potluck 2012 |
|
| April was National Volunteer Month, and we celebrated with a Spring Pot Luck dinner on April 19. Over 50 people came out to enjoy a wide variety of incredible edibles! Everyone here at Kenneth Young Center is truly grateful to all of our volunteers who contribute so much all year long. We would like to extend a special shout out to Marge Shannon and the fellows of the barber-shop quartet, UltraSound. Marge provided the beautiful snap-dragon centerpieces which made the room truly festive-looking and UltraSound brought forth their vocal talents and humor for great musical entertainment. THANK YOU ONE & ALL.
