Volunteer Appreciation Party

April 12th was our annual "Volunteer Appreciation" evening.  Words cannot truly express the gratitude we feel for all of our Board members, Development volunteers, and our Clubhouse volunteers, who collectively put so many hours of love & time into supporting Gilda's Club Desert Cities.

All the volunteers were presented with a pair of lovely "Star Glasses"!
Volunteer Cathy Marchi wears them proudly!
