Appreciating Our Volunteers

Thank you to Suzan Arabacioglu who answered our ad for a graphic designer and donated her time and talent to update some of CFP’s marketing materials. Her help has been greatly appreciated and she was a joy to work with.
On October 19th in SW Washington State, CFP held its first Host Family and Volunteer Appreciation event at Prairie Bar and Grill.  The event was hosted by Area Coordinator Jessica Ambrose, Co-Coordinator Brooke Anderson and incoming Executive Director Tammy Haas. Our goal was simple — it was to thank our host families,  countless volunteers and donors and show our appreciation. Without our CFP Community of hosts, volunteers  and donors, we simply couldn’t run an effective and rewarding program for the teens we serve. 

The owners of Prairie Bar and Grill, Dan and Shawna Risner,  were generous in providing us with a space and discounted costs for the event.  It was well attended and everyone was very appreciative of our effort.  Many stayed after to continue to visit and plan for the 2025 program in the Pacific Northwest..
