North Glendale Family Update
February 27, 2022
Good morning!
Many thanks for the work, time, energy, planning and donations that went into a super successful Trivia Night!
The Trivia Chairs, Katie Azar, Emily Kreikemeier and Kate Lane along with their crew of committee members knocked it out of the park and surpassed their fundraising goal.
AND it was a little slice of normal ~ a BIG community of people with a common love (NG!) coming together in PERSON.
Thanks to all for your support of this wonderful evening.
Please reach out at anytime!
