DianeWhat an amazing job you all have done to bring this celebration to the community! I have been on the emails and an awed by the concern and commitment to make this happen. It shows the heart and spirit that has been rekindled by the recent election and I believe the desire to carry that forward in our community-locally and nationally.You all rock!
