SLAM 2009 slideshow

S.L.A.M. volunteer dinner cruise 2009

We had a refreshing evening as most of the volunteers from SLAM got together to enjoy Tacoma's beauty and reflect on another summer of the Tacoma Rescue Mission's Youth Program. Each volunteer and staff well deserved a night of relaxation and uninterrupted conversation. It is amazing how a group of genuine, caring people have made a life changing difference in the lives of many children. We are grateful for their dedication and commitment!
Thank you Ashley and Erik for hosting us on your incredible boat.
