and Barbara Zemo accept a BIG check from Valero!

Recently, we were notified by Valero that "Hannah's Hope" would be receiving part of the money raised in their annual benefit golf tournament.

Board members Lisa Marti, Tommy Coulter, Julie Dearing and Barbara Zemo attended the check presentation along with Program Manager and Lead Teacher, Robin Blue.

This money has been designated to use for repair work on the outside of Hannah's Hope, as well as, scholarships and gross motor equipment.

Homes Tour Success

Last minute bidding in the silent auction.

This year's Christmas Homes Tour hosted by St. Christopher's by the Sea Episcopal church in Portland was alot of fun and a huge success with proceeds going to Hannah's Hope.

Although it didn't feel much like the Christmas season with the warm weather, it was perfect for touring homes in Portland. Along with the tour were the wonderful refreshments, silent auction and caroling.

Thanks goes to the many, many people who worked long and hard to put on this annual event. We certainly do appreciate it.

"Hannah's Hope" Visits the Farm

Ms. Dawn and Hannah O. "hang out" with some goats.

Robin's husband, Jeff Blue, invited the students at Hannah's Hope to visit the farm where he works. Staff and students traveled to Kingsville this past Friday to visit the farm. They toured the farm by truck which all the kids enjoyed. Then, they all got to see and pet the goats. Later, everyone went to McDonald's for lunch and play time. It must have been a fun trip as the students returned tired, but with smiles on their faces.

Thanks, Jeff, for sharing your time with our students.
