Posted on Dec 31st, 2024
Sweet is the memory of departed river friends! Like the mellow rays of the setting sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly on the heart.

Departed December 30, 2024
The following is a rerun of Vanessa's receiving the 2014 Primeau Award.
"One of our unsung heroes, Vanessa also has been involved with FOR since its inception. In fact, FOR was conceived as an idea at a gathering at her home. As chairperson of the parade committee, she works tirelessly to put on two highly visible events each year – the July 4th boat parade and the lighted Christmas boat parade. These events publicize our organization and generate significant goodwill and support for FOR. Vanessa is a go-to person who always makes time to support our efforts. She is zone captain in our annual clean-ups, CAPs member, and volunteers whenever help is needed."
