We are so proud of YOU, our volunteers, for this past year. It has been an amazing run during a very difficult time. First of I want to say of our 2,701 that have registered, slightly over half have been able to participate in our events. But for those have not yet been able to participate and have remained on our mailing list, we are sure that have a heart for what we do and like to keep in touch , and perhaps even share our activities with others.
The rest of this text is statistics of what we have been doing which could be boring to some. But for some it is quite revealing. i.e.
