Drum roll... please!

Thank you to everyone who did not attend our April Fools Keeping kids in School Not Happening Ball! Again it was a huge success.  Without the help of Jimmy Buffett we were able to raise over $5,000 to help keep kids in school. Thank you for buying a ticket and staying home.

Who gets the lovely pearl necklace and earrings from our very REAL and generous sponsor, Kuhn's Jewelers?

In early May, Dawn delivered the prize to her at the office, Shore Distributors. 

Congratulations Mary Nelson!

A Tribute to our Founder

tribute_-webDuring the Kids of Honor holiday gathering, the board of directors surprised our founder with a video tribute...  and a four foot Orange Chicken! Thanks to Paula Morris for all her hard work and dedication. In 2013, our chicken "Wish Upon a Star" has a new permanent home at Salisbury University in the atrium of the Perdue School of Business.  Another chicken from FeatherFest, "Chicken Noodle Soup" shares the atrium, flanking the entrance. We'll post photos once they arrive in their new home.

Dr. Dave Nagy presents an award and photos to Paula and her husband Jim.
