Just to say THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN AMAZING YEAR!
I can't thank you each of you enough for donating your talents and your time to TOCO Festival, some of you for seven years in a row now! Each year we each get better at what we do, and for me personally, because of your love and support I've been able to learn a lot about myself from you and TOCO and I'm grateful TOCO was created and has come into my life.
TOCO the nfp and TOCO Festival have given me purpose and have show me, in the words of a church sign i saw recently, "People are not my problem: they are my purpose." I am a better person because of the things I've experienced through TOCO the organization, and the event that is TOCO Festival.
I can't wait for next year, and I get the idea that most of you feel the same.
Your Volunteer Extraordinare,
The Tree Diva!
