Garden 2 Table Team Chosen for Next Year!!!

Today we wrapped up our interviews and chose our new team of project planners for the next year!!
Everyone who came out had good ideas and we thank everyone for their interest, it truly is great to see how many people care about our cause!! And on a even more positive note, the interviewing process has added to our list of volunteers for coming events!

The candidates we chose had a few common qualities; passion, enthusiasm, and self-motivation. Unfortunately, we cannot post their names yet since they are not even aware that they have made the cut!! When they know, we'll let you know too! 

I know that I can't wait to see what they come up with for next year!
