The morning after….

None of the “Magic” is possible without the heart and soul of the many dedicated volunteers who founded and run S.T.A.R.S. International.  Every volunteer unselfishly gives up extensive personal time and comfort to put themselves out there to improve the futures of our youth.  Even with the potential risks to their personal safety ever present, this family of volunteers grows deeps bonds with each youth, sometimes equaling parents/guardians.  I want to personally thank all of the 2011 Kenosha S.T.A.R.S. volunteers and all founding members who have molded the program into what it is today and tomorrow.  A “Special Thanks” to Mark (a master instructor and juggler) for his faithful promotion, mentoring, and perseverance with our participants during our scuba training in his second year serving the program. I can only hope that the water finally drains from my ears before our next weekend of training!
