Power of YOU Staff Retreat

Child Focus’ Power of You Staff Retreat took place on August 13 to honor the amazing impact and years of service of staff, including staff Ginny Mersman who celebrated her 40th year. Board President, Debbie Altemuehle, and several other board members provided delicious boxed cookies for all staff, helped serve food, staff games and mingle. Child Focus CEO Pamela Lindeman discussed the theme, “Within each of you lies the heart, passion, dedication and capacity to change the world. Every great dream begins with a dreamer and every act of kindness ends by changing the world. What you do every day makes a difference.” Click here for pictures from the event.
