In June, we celebrated our Scholarship Committee for their dedication to education. A heartwarming moment occurred when Cypress Park High School teacher Wendy Baron and former student Sheridan Gabrisch reunited after more than 13 years. Coincidentally, it was Wendy's last day before retirement. These memorable moments demonstrate the lasting impact of our volunteers.
