On September 9, we celebrated a milestone with the official groundbreaking for our long-awaited Farmyard renovation project. It was a day filled with excitement, pride, and gratitude as state and local officials, volunteers, staff, and supporters joined together to mark this new chapter in our story. Their enthusiasm, combined with the generosity of key donors and the dedication of our project team, helped bring this dream to life. As President and CEO Kathy Buresch explained in in her opening remarks, the Farmyard is a place of purpose, pride, and joy for our participants and the thousands of guests
who visit each year. The first phase of the renovation focuses on building a new barn, but this barn represents much more than a structure. It marks the beginning of a remarkable transformation that will introduce features we have never had before, including bathrooms, classrooms, and new spaces designed to enhance the visitor experience and expand job opportunities for our participants. This foundation will pave the way for future growth, with the potential to triple the number of annual visitors each year. (Continued on page 3)
