Thank You To Ascend Volunteers And Sponsors From This Fall
Since the beginning of this fiscal year (October 1, 2014) we’ve had 122 individuals provide 2,078.5 hours of volunteer service. That is outstanding! These people have helped with various events like our out-of-state BKXperience Camps, our Denver BKXperience and call-back camps, Friendship Cup Competition, Bingo, various work days at the Corps Hall, and BKPE Support. When you see any of these folks, please take a minute to give them a warm thank you. We thank all of you that have volunteered so far and we give advance thanks to those that will be volunteering with us at some point during the year. You truly make this all possible!
Thank You Volunteers!
