President's Message
It's Not All About The Candy

This was the first year I was involved with our Youth Day Parade and I can't wait to help again next year. Working with our youth to assemble the tower of hero power was a blast. Seeing kids of all ages working together to build the float out weighs the fun of tossing 400 pounds of candy to the crowd. A special thanks to Zach Fields and the committee for planning the float build and organizing the Interact volunteers.
