We extend our sincere appreciation to Rob for serving as Master of Ceremonies and to our guest speaker, W.C. Gernandt III, for sharing his journey and offering meaningful insight and encouragement to our students.

Thank you to our volunteers from setup to serving and cleaning up, we couldn’t have done it without you.
