2008-2009 Thank You's...
May '09 Thank you to everyone who helped us Celebrate the Children at the Annual Picnic!!!!! It takes a village to run TBoys now with so many enrolled and we truly apprecaite everyone and their efforts to make this another wonderful celebration. I would list names, but because there is so many, I might not have enough room and would fear leaving out even one person. We had money donated, help getting trophies, field painting, lights, gas, power for lights, water balloons, food - meat, cakes, drinks, fixin's and gifts, decorations, many to cook and one to bring the grill and make sure all was cleaned up in the park, those to fix the picture boards and those to set them out, those to help pack us all back up. This is not all, but gives a clue to the help we received. Thanks to the family for getting the Thursday Boys Van!! So awesome for the kids!! Thanks to all who support their community!!
Mar-Apr '09 Thank you to everyone who supports Thursday Boys!! It takes a village to run this show!! Thank you to all the children who contribute their time to shag balls and unload and load the trailer/pick-up and to mentor to one another and to serve snacks to each other and to go to class to learn how to be a leader!! We have awesome children and we are so proud of them!! Thanks to all the parents and friends who donate their time and money to make this program successful in serving our children and our community!!
