SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS!!! Consider volunteering this year!
Feedback from our judges:
Lots of you worked very hard to test out new processes and procedures, and took on actions that required flexibility. Thank you all for thinking outside of the box to make this happen for our students!
While I know there will be discussion on ways to improve things, in person or remote, there are lots of positives to be thankful for, as always!
This has been Cool!!! I'd definitely do it again!
Social Worker from Tennessee: "It was a lot of fun! I'd definitely volunteer if it was virtual again." (Also, she noted she did not hear one single "Y'all")
It was very good! The students were great! Gives me hope for the future
It was a great day!
Why didn’t you ask me to do this years ago? (side note: this is a quote from a friend of Neil’s that vaguely references one of those friendly inside jokes)
There’s a lot of resilience with these kids and they give me hope for the future.
I like in person interactions but this went very well virtually. Kudos to you and the planning team!
I am in for next year.
This was a blessing. Thank you.
Our 2020 Waterloo Legionaires
