Excerpt; Circle of Friends Evening of Recogntion Dinner June 3, 2009
...As young people we may not always recognize how experiences impact and influence our lives. And they certainly do. I believe Circle of Friends is one of those experiences that will most likely have an influence on our volunteers' lives in some way or another. I used my experience as a girl, when I sold candy as a fundraiser for my childhood friend Judy's disease, Dysautonomia. I was fortunate to attend a volunteer appreciation dinner similar (but not as beautifully decorated) as our Circle of Friends Volunteer Appreciation Dinner which I believe led me to where I am today...volunteering with and for children with special needs. As a youngster I recognized how helping others made me feel good which guided me toward my journey as a teacher and as a volunteer with children's causes.
