Success of FDRD's Annual Party
FDRD wants to send a special thanks to all of the members of the community that came out to our Annual Party and Membership Drive last month. We had a successful event, gained several members, and celebrated our accomplishments of 2009. Thank you to our Board of Directors, other participating nonprofits, and volunteers who helped make the night a success! It was great to see many new and returning faces. It was an inspiring night and we are excited for the 2010 season!
