First, I love the happiness that I see in all the people that participate in our events. Buddies, Peer Buddies, their families, and friends all just have fun together and have a chance to broaden their friend circles. Second, I believe that the best part of what we do is starting friendships that last for lifetimes. My favorite memory that I am most proud of is becoming a peer buddy.<\/p>\n
My Buddy Valerie and I have shared many afternoons walking parks and sharing stories. She has become a confidant and great friend. Although we do not have the best of luck with the weather, (we always seem to get rained on) we always make the best of it. I have only attended the virtual Leadership Conference this year, but I hope to attend the live conference in the future.<\/p>\n
I am excited to announce that I will be the Auction Chair for this year\u2019s Virtual Champion of the Year event on November 20, 2020.
