Thank you to all our donors and friends. The GAINS Program Year Five Celebration was a huge success

We celebrated at the lovely residence of Don & Melissa Nielsen - thank you, Don & Melissa -
with friends, supporters, and two of our 2017 GAINS graduates.

Highlights of the evening included an update
on the 2017 class of 29 GAINS seniors:

24 graduated or will graduate after summer school;
the other 5 are working or have active work or study plans.
12 will be studying at two-year colleges;
6 are enrolled in 4-year colleges;
6 are still formulating their plans for next year.

Paul Plumis Thank you for helping us celebrate the successful completion of the Foundation's initial commitment to
5 years of supporting the program!
