What a fabulous way to kick off the holiday season at our 50th Jubilee! It was a magical evening and Mary Beth Young and her Fall Event Committee pulled it off beautifully. Volunteerism is one of the most selfless acts that we can become involved in. So many Kindervelt members selflessly gave their time and efforts to make the Jubilee a true celebration! The wonderful 5-decade history display that Nancy Groves-Van Buskirk created reminded us of all the incredible things that have been accomplished; what a difference we have made!

It was a special treat having several of our founding and charter members in attendance. Their efforts in our organization’s infancy obviously set a sound foundation so we could continue to prosper, and we certainly have done that!

Another highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2021 Barbara Fitch Award. Congratulations to Cece Kohlman, a well-deserving recipient and a true inspiration to volunteerism!

Now that the holiday season is here it’s comforting knowing that all we do benefits those dear patients at CCHMC and can help to make their holiday brighter.

Wishing you and your families a healthy and joyous holiday season!
