Today, our staff got to go to a Concerned Citizens Coalition meeting to honor one of our own. Bob Schaffer, our Facilities and Grounds Manager, was celebrated by the Teen Task Force for all of his help and dedication with the annual Haunted House! Bob has helped with the Haunted House for over 30 years, and always makes sure the Teen Task Force crew is encouraged and has what they need to succeed. We appreciate you, Bob!
