Welcome to the PPL Connection e-news, May 2010
Greetings from Executive Director, Steve Cramer
One of the best nights at PPL each year is the presentation of our Achievement Awards to participants from across the range of programs we offer. They embody the will to move forward positively in life, often overcoming huge challenges along the way. The link to their inspiring stories is in the Community Voices section below.
Other stories tell of serving people with criminal histories, a community growing together by way of gardening, and more celebrations, for volunteers and training graduates.
