February 17, 2022: Board Preparedness Luncheon - ELS members and guests received the opportunity to hear from some of our community's most influential leaders who have dedicated years of volunteer service to the nonprofit community. This was a wonderful opportunity for young leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the needs and gaps in resources, and learn how to volunteer time and talents to advance a nonprofit organization's mission.
December 2, 2021 : 2021 Angel Tree Drive - ELS adopted over 300 Salvation Army angels in 2021, in spite of the continued challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
