Volunteers Make It Happen!

Renee Shain is KAIR's 2009 Volunteer of the Year!

Renee lives in Marathon with her husband Larry and puts in many hours at the KAIR office helping keep their finances straight. She is an extraordinary volunteer as she also is the volunteer Event Director of the Pigeon Key Art Festival held every February. With working, her family and all her volunteer efforts, Renee is a very busy lady!

Valentine's Day at Sombrero Beach - Wow!

This event to benefit KAIR was a real "friend raiser!" Every hair stylist in town cut hair to raise money for the programs of KAIR. Flowers and balloons were donated by Marathon Florist and Cristiano's donated fabulous heart shaped cookies. The Centennial Bank Weenie Wagon served hot dogs and DJ Tito played the tunes while people danced in the sand. Go to the February newsletter for a complete list of participants.

Thanks for KAIRing!
