Thank You

While we can not share photos for confidentiality reasons I want to say a huge thank you to Chris Winardi, Tish Hart, Mary Wood, Rita Ritner and Paula Ritchie for helping me with the over 30,000 photos we spent 10 days sorting through to put together photo albums for some very special Children who visited in Oct for a vacation of a lifetime.  It means so much for these children and their families to have these memories.
