A Big Thanks To All Of Our Volunteers!

As you may have noticed, it was hard to turn around this past weekend without seeing someone in a neon orange shirt sporting a large LAUNCH logo on it that was ready to answer your questions or point you in the right direction!

Those folks were our over-worked (but not under-appreciated!) volunteers, without whom LAUNCH wouldn't have been able to remain in orbit. So on behalf of the LAUNCH staff, and everyone who attended, a hearty thank you goes out to:

Mariam Attalla, Karen Belz, John Brooks, Becky Caplan, Chris Diehm, Jessi Eno, Tammy Eno, Robin Ernst, Ben Fetzer, Jarrod Galler, Dave Gaman, Brandon Gepfer, Danielle Hartman, Luke Harvey, Trevor Hawkins, Greg Hildebrand, Angelo Madrigale, Greg Marko, Nicole Mitterer, Bryan Naranjo, Scott Naylor, Steph Patterson, Ralph Real, Sam Reese, Ashley Ruhl, Lucas Sieg, Joe Smith, Melanie Wagner, Trevor Wall, Kirsten Weiss, Nyemah Wisseh, Ben Yohe and everyone else who helped out.
