As Ann said...we may be a small part of something but the big picture makes you proud … especially watching our youth service recipients blossom and flourish.. Trish Perkins has travelled extensively ,working alongside over 100 non-profits, and loves that "Old Fashioned Rock and Roll that soothes the soul!" Ann Jones has been a stable , inimitable force in her community preserving the traditions while networking for the greater good... Getting to know each other in a more personal way brings a greater appreciation for our members and makes our TEAM come alive!!!

Great customer service and delicious food -both considered worthy of support in these tough times...
