Congratulations to our October Volunteers of the Month, Jessica Lewin and Celeste Bengston, our incredible Fall Picnic Chairs!!  A huge thank you goes out for all of their hard work and devotion to making sure our Brinker Bears and their families had an incredible 2022 Fall Family Picnic. Their effort at this year's Family Picnic made it a memorable experience for all!
