"Increased membership enrollment for our men's and women's programs, a junior program that now includes five high schools in the regional area as well as three women's programs in the local high schools. We are really seeing some positive growth."

Celebrations surrounding the anniversary begin this Saturday night with a benefit dinner at Earl's.

It's 30 dollars to attend, with tickets available at Epic Mortgage solutions.
