THANK YOU - RED WAGON LUNCHEON 2024

A big thank you to Class of 2023 for planning a wonderful Red Wagon Luncheon this year!

Thank you to our members, sponsors, and guests for the diapers collected for Fall Layettes and the money raised for our programs. A big thank you to the event chairpersons, Trisha Nycz and Cindy Michael. We could not do what we do without your generous support and our sponsors, especially the LaValley Foundation for their generosity and Hafner Florists for the wonderful centerpieces! A beautiful luncheon and beautiful weather, God Bless to all and to Mary Virginia Merrick.

THE RED WAGON AWARD

This award is presented at the Red Wagon Luncheon in the Fall of each year. The award honors a CCS member who has made a significant contribution to our CCS Toledo chapter. Pat Smith was honored with the award this year. Pat has been a CCS Toledo member since 2018 and co-chairs the Clothe-a-Child and Layettes projects as well as Celebrity Wait Night. Mike surprised Pat by attending the award presentation at the Red Wagon Luncheon. Thank you Pat for your endless enthusiasm and energy in our mission.
