Thanks to many who made the Tree of Confidence a success

I would like to express a heart felt thanks to the members of the community, my friends and family for making the 1st annual Tree of Confidence a great success. I truly appreciate all the people who reached out to me to make my vision a reality, and the start of the school year a happy one for many deserving children.

Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Shirley Dacey, Vickie Roig, Cara Phillips, Misty Smith, Debi Roconnova, Colleen Brogan, Chris and Angie Segroves, Lance and Michelle Best, Mr. and Mrs. Meili, Shawn and Trisha Brash, Debbie McGourin, Hands to Heart Foundation, Tracey Downs, Cathleen Schlotter and the team at Salnave Elementary.

The in kind and monetary donations helped us serve 26 children (elementary, middle school, and high school) with school clothes, school shoes and 28 middle school children with backpacks and school supplies necessary for their grade.

Thank you to Salnave Elementary and Cheney Middle School for supporting this crazy idea! I'm already looking forward to the next school year!

April Brogan,

Cheney
