The LifeStriders Volunteer Appreciation Party was a great event! The clouds gave way to a beautiful afternoon of sun, song, and merriment as we honored all of the volunteers who helped make the 2009 year at LifeStriders the best year ever.
Special Congratulations goes out to the Matthew Knowles the LifeStrider of the Year, and to Becke Mankee the LifeStriders Volunteer of the Year and to all the volunteers who earned Presidential Service awards this year.
Heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers and their families who donated food, drinks, and their time to make LifeStriders Volunteer Appreciation Party and Open House a huge success!
LifeStriders would like to especially thank Stephanie Benz and Barb Abair for organizing and putting on the event. Additional thanks to Kevin DeMaster, Doug Femal (brought all of the 'crew's' food), Dan Sweeny, Sara DeMaster and Sam Femal for their support thoughout the day, and Ken Harland for helping us with parking. Another big thank you goes to The Jim Lindell Family Band, who provided us with a perfect blend of irish songs to keep the merriment flowing. (details about their upcoming gigs will be posted here as they become available)
Some pictures have been uploaded to the Pictures section of the website. You can view them here.

LifeStriders in Delafield, Wisconsin is a member center of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Assoc. (NARHA). LifeStriders provides unique therapeutic riding services to the metro Milwaukee area for those with special needs.
After five years of successful operation, LifeStriders is now operating at full capacity, with a growing waiting list of applicants.
The Board would be honored if you would allow us to schedule a tour of the LifeStriders facility during lessons to see how you can help the organization accommodate for growth of its facilities and services.
Thank you Marco and Congratulations on your New CD

Marco Gensch (Age 18), a local musician who plays in the Kettle Moraine Symphony Orchestra, surprised us this evening by donating to LifeStriders, the first $100 dollars he made selling his first CD. Marco, who is also a volunteer, wanted LifeStriders to have this donation because he respects and believes in what the LifeStriders program does for it's participants.
LifeStriders humbly accepts your donation Marco and wishes you the very best of luck in your musical career and pursuits. Marco can be heard at the symphony, on his myspace page, or if you would like to purchase a CD from Marco, please inquire by emailing him directly.
