Miracle Volunteer Award

So, I was uncertain of how to approach this blog piece.
I am a bit overwhelmed at the honor I have received...Miracle Volunteer of the Year.
Sponsored by CMN, it recognized me as Director of Rhonda's FooteWorks Dance Outreach Company and the work we have recently done for our communities.
I wish to thank Jocelyn Mejias for the honor; Allan Tuttle for the introduction; My Dad for always being there; Kris and the girls...most of all My Miracle, Madi. My company dancers and their parents as represented that evening by Courtney, Susan and "Madi's DeeDee"-DeAnne...and our future faculty addition to the new company-- Miss Lewis County, Katie Birchenough.
We are only as good as the people we are surrounded by.
I am so thankful that YOU surround me.
