Everyone needs to give Indira Bahner some love for pulling off the 7th Future Thrust Awards. I greatly appreciate her passion for our youths and the opportunities the Red-Tailed Hawks Youth Program provides.
For those that did not attend, you miss a blessing, and thanks to Zoom you have a second chance to experience the meat of the evening. I edited out the Reception video and the Legacy Lift video. Watch and tell the world. We are still in the hunt for benefactors to stand and be counted - One Thousand-One Hundred!
